VANCOUVER, British Columbia – The winless U.S. men’s curlers lost a tough one again, beaten 7-6 by Denmark on Thursday in yet another extra end.
The Americans are 0-4 and will need to win their remaining five matches in the round-robin schedule to stand any chance of reaching the semifinals.
“It hurts right now,” U.S. lead John Benton said. “We’re definitely on the way, way outside. Something magical would have to happen for us to make the medal round.”
Added U.S. second Jeff Isaacson: “I would say a miracle.”
The Americans needed a tense extra end for the third straight match and third in four overall.
