He puts a dart in the top left corner. Norway take the lead. I don't know if Fukushima knew much about that. One thing they do is track the players on the ice. It is interesting to see how much puck time a player has. It is much smaller as a player might think. This is five seconds of good possession. There is a strike as they find themselves a second goal.

First ones on the scene. Can they do anything with the evidence? Look at this from Norway! They are too good. They are putting together passes and scoring goals Like they are doing it for fun. It is not too much fun for Fukushima. (CHEERING) Here they are. Look at the Norwegians as Pedersen got his hat-trick. They are indicating from the bench, 'throw your hats!' Fukushima is beaten. Full time. A very commanding performance. They got things going, the Norwegians. On day six, the last day of the round robin wheelchair curling, There was still everything to play for for many countries.

In ice hockey, the first of the semifinals saw world champions Canada an action against Korea. At the Gangneung Hockey Centre, the hosts were cheered on by an enthusiastic crowd, hoping the Koreans could score a surprise against the Canadians. Canada have been ruthless so far in this tournament, and they will be looking to be party poopers quite simply, against the Koreans. The Koreans have the wind in their sails, and can they use that as a token of momentum? Canada against the Republic of Korea. We are underway. Korea getting the first face-off under their belt. People still continue to take their seats. The two 14s going toe to toe. Canada trying to get the game into flow, and already Korea are getting them under pressure. It is important for Korea to be a physical. And now McGregor with the first opportunity. It is a big save from the goaltender, who will feel very good after that one. The first moment where he has been called upon. Miraculously saved. Second time in this first period for McGregor. This is incredible for the Koreans to deny the Canadians in this opening three minutes. Delaney. Waiting for the options. Right glove save there from Lee Jae Hwang. But for how much longer will he answer the questions posed to him? Eventually on the defensive once again, Korea trying to put it into the neutral zone. Surely he scores. Eventually Canada have got a breakthrough, which they deserve. The 19-year-old gets his sixth of the tournament. Liam Hickey, is this an opening goal when Korea were shutting the Canadians down. There was just in the centre and killed by the Canadians. Here they come on the counter charge. The latter has done very well to pull him out wide. We've only had the one goal. Did he get a touch? It doesn't matter, because Canada are two goals ahead. And just like that, they turn the screw. It is Canada two, Korea nil. When you have players in the front. That is the touch by the defendant front of Westlake, and there is no chance there. Will that benefit Canada here? That park is causing all sorts of problems for Korea. Westlake now. Just in front of Dixon, who are penetrating and in search of a third. Into the net, and Westlake has managed to get the Canadian third, just before the intermission. How crucial a goal. Great commitment from the captain. To set on the back door and not say no. He did not quit on the play. We will see whether it goes to review. I think he whacks it a second and third time. He won't be credited for being polite. The second he shoves it through. Westlake got that position. He has the follow-through and the tenacity to stay with it. He gets the reward of A third Canadian goal. The park has been moving around Canadian ranks so quickly, it is hard to get to grips with everybody so far. Korea are finding this an issue as well. They have certainly matched that. Put up a fight back in the second period. We will be indicating as to whether they are running out of gas or whether the Canadians can apply some more pressure. Again Canada are taking no prisoners, and they want to bank as many goals they can get. This has been diminutive from Canada, vociferous as well. Canada have half a step into the finals surely now. Four nil. The Canadian RPMs have been revving all tournament. They have got it In drive. The Koreans can simply not keep up as the overpowering chassis from the Canadians is taking this ride on the motorway. Canada never need an invitation for a goal, but this powerplay will be just that. Whatever happens, Korea will still have a chance of a middle. He is McGregor. He was well checked. 90 seconds left. It is an important clearance for Korea, Billy Bridges will get the goal. That is Canada's fifth. Billy Bridges' second. You don't have to be a lip reader to understand what Billy Bridges just says our fees because this goal. He fires at low and hard. It burns the top of the ice. Westlake has it now curving around. Perfect chance for Dixon. As he tries to drifted back on to the left. Armstrong immediately with the reflexes like a cat. Dom Cozzolino can't find a gap, but recycles things and tricky circumstances. Conjuring up the feed for Westlake. He still finds McGregor. That was tenacious as it was brilliant. There was probably the best goal of the lot. We talked about a disjointed third.. Well they have turned that around in one play. That is a signature Canadian goal. It is their management of the puck that is simply perfect. Korea are still well within Canada territory. Canada have a lot of flair when they are on the puck. Whether they have been in their own zone or the offensive zone. This is the opportunity. Big moment for Korea. It is saved. He had a big save to make. He would have heard the cheers around him and Felt the shivers down his spine. That is an intentional play, making it look like he is catching butterflies. Armstrong, superb on the recovery. He looks to supply the goods for McGregor. He does not take no for an answer. Batted it in despite being seemingly thwarted on the first occasion. Canada have a sensational seventh. It does not get much better than this. You come in, receive the service and get knocked down. Falling to exhaustion, you get up one more time with your core strength and elevate it into the goal. The final few seconds. This Korea side is somewhat special. They have come against the Canada side who will battle it out on the final day. The world champions are here, and they are wanting their first golden since 2006. And something they have been doing in these matches as throwing the Bandabi mascots into the crowd. They are letting everybody know that they are most welcome to Love their ice hockey like they do and to share in the fun and the delight that is paralytic sport. (ALL SHOUT HAPPILY) For the NPA, There was a slim reality they would get to the semifinals. Going into the third end, NPA held a 1 point lead the Swedish skip got the advantage, though. In end four, both team's stones laid around the edge of the house. Their final stone took out NPA. He then had a chance to put his stone in the centre. The measurement secured 1/3 to have Sweden go into the lead. In the following end, They faced a crowded house. They managed to find a way into the centre of the house. (CHEERING) Romanov could only aid them further. Sweden extended their lead to 7-1. NPA cut the deficit in the sixth and seventh. It wasn't enough as they conceded in the final end. Sweden took the game 7-3, Ending the NPA's prospects. (CHEERING) I could not have been simpler for Norway in the afternoon session of day five. The victory for surveyor gear would guarantee a semi final place. They were in a confident mood after narrowly overcoming the USA. It was Slovakia who made the stronger start. He added another to the house first team. Slovakia took the lead in the second end. Norway had been less than consistent in the round robin, And it looks like this would be one of the off matches. He added a third stone to the house for their side. Norway managed to get some hope for the victory they wanted in the seventh. Lorentsen threw his final rock. The Norwegians took one point from the end. Norway needed two points to force the match to an extra. He added A third Norwegian stone to the house. Slovakia could only take one of those, So the match went to the extra end. It was quite simple for Norway ` When this and they qualify for the semifinals. With three stones left in the match, Pitonak curled a great shot into the house. The pressure on full tilt, Norway's skip made his best effort. But Norway were vulnerable. Pitonak had the hammer. Everything rested on his final stone. His shot sailed past the house And Norway lookedto have won the match. That was certified by the measurer, And Norway's place in this in my final was confirmed. It was a memorable comeback from Norway. Both China and the Republic of Korea had already qualified for the semifinals, The both nations would be keen to do well for opportunities to finish on the top of the standings after the round robin. The Chinese skip's stone didn't manage to knock Korea's out of the house. Vice-skip then perfectly placed his final stone, Securing an early two-point advantage. China pulled off two excellent shots. The host nation had little to cheer about. Wang then perfectly placed his final stone to give China a valuable four point haul and 5 point lead midway. Korea's skip set an early marker and the sixth that would prove unbeatable. (CHEERING, APPLAUSE) Despite China's best efforts, The end would go the way of Korea as they pulled ahead six-five. China levelled the scoring in the seventh, But in the final end China's stone fell short. Korea won. The result left them in second place in the round robin. China sat in third but both had Medal matches to look forward to. Canada had already booked their place in this semi finals. They would try to keep theirMomentum going and Finland were playing for honour. It didn't take long for the Finns to get into the game. With the penultimate rock, Finland put an excellent stone into the house. This gave the Canadian skip a chance for a take-out. But he ricocheted off his own stone. Canada slowly got back on terms with Finland, the teams were level going into the sixth. His shot caught on his own stone, In Finland had to settle for a single point. They had the momentum into the latter stages, But Canada showed their quality in the seventh. They put another stone into the centre of the house. Three points to Canada who lead going into the final end. Another two points in the eighth gave Canada the victory.
