Canada's Jennifer Jones continues playoff push with 3rd straight win at Beijing Olympics

Jennifer Jones and her Canadian foursome continued their Olympic playoff push with a third straight win in Beijing.

The Winnipeg skip led Canada to a 7-6 victory over Tabitha Peterson and the United States on Wednesday to improve to 4-3 in the Olympic women's curling round robin, putting them in a tie for third with Great Britain and Japan. Canada has a quick turnaround with a game against China on Wednesday at 7 a.m. ET, before closing out their round-robin schedule against Denmark on Thursday at 1 a.m. ET.

After bouncing back from a three-game skid that had them on their heels, the Canadians are now riding a wave of momentum with just two games remaining. The top four of the 10 competing nations will advance to the semifinals. 

The Americans tied it up late with a steal of one in the ninth end, but Jones gave Canada the victory with a clutch final shot to score a single in the 10th.

Canada entered the game with major momentum, having battled back from a 1-3 record by claiming back-to-back crucial wins against the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) and Great Britain.

The Canadians started the tournament strong with a 12-7 win over 2018 silver medallists South Korea, but they came up short against Japan and Sweden before falling to two-time defending world champion Switzerland.

Jones' team includes Jocelyn Peterman, Dawn McEwen and Kaitlyn Lawes — with Lisa Weagle as an alternate.

The six-time Scotties champion and two-time world champion entered the Beijing Games with a perfect Olympic record after leading Canada to glory in 2014, becoming the only women's curling team to ever win Olympic gold with an undefeated record (11-0).
