Two of the four men’s curling semifinal spots have been locked up, and a host of teams will now battle for the third and fourth.
Sweden and Great Britain already have their spots in the medal rounds locked in.
At 5-3, Canada currently sits at No. 3 with one game left on its schedule. Directly behind them is the team from the Russian Olympic Committee and Team USA, tied for fourth at 4-4 each.

Team USA has perhaps the easiest road to the semifinals, though they likely need to win to move on. John Shuster’s team will finish round robin play against Denmark, the last place team in the standings. Denmark’s only win in the 2022 Games came against Norway on Monday.
Team USA would own the tiebreaker with the ROC thanks to a 6-5 win over Sergey Glukhov’s team in the first game of round robin play.
The ROC would own a tiebreak with Canada after defeating Brad Gushue’s team, 7-6, on Tuesday.
