Disappointment for Jennifer Jones, as Canada eliminated in women's curling

A wild final day of the round robin in women's curling at the Olympics ended in heartbreak for Canada's Jennifer Jones.

The Canadian team defeated Denmark 10-4 in eight ends at the Ice Cube on Thursday, but that wasn't good enough as results in the other games didn't go their way, and Jones' rink was eliminated from playoff contention in Beijing.

Jones was attempting to win her second gold medal after reaching the top of the podium in 2014 in Sochi. That was the last time Canada won an Olympic medal in women's curling.

"I'm feeling proud, but incredibly sad. I was really proud of our performance today. I thought we went out there and won a game that we had to win, and it just wasn't enough," Jones said.

"The sadness is more that it's over. We don't get to play any more – that always makes me sad."

Canada was put into a dire situation after it saw a three-match winning streak halted by an 11-9 loss to China's Wang Rui in an extra end on Wednesday.

That defeat dropped Canada's record to 4-4 and put it into a pack of five teams battling it out during Thursday's final round with no less than 16 different win-loss scenarios in play to determine the final two semifinal berths — the top four nations qualify for the playoffs.

The Canadians faced a must-win against the Danes, who were already knocked out of semifinal contention, and needed some help to claim a playoff spot. But Japan, South Korea and the Russian Olympic Committee all lost, which meant Canada's win didn't stand up. With their 5-4 record, the Canadian finished in fifth place, just below the playoff line, exiting the competition via the draw shot challenge system for
