Olympic wake-up call: Brad Gushue will play for another Olympic curling medal

Canada's men's curling team is guaranteed to play a match for an Olympic medal at the 2022 Beijing Olympic Winter Games.

Brad Gushue's rink clinched a berth in the semifinals with one round-robin game still to play – and without throwing a single rock on Day 12. 

China beat Switzerland, and Great Britain defeated the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) on Wednesday. Those marked the fifth losses by the ROC and the Swiss , meaning Gushue's 5-3 record guaranteed his team a place in the semis.

Great Britain and Sweden had already clinched their berths with 7-1 records.

Canada's last round-robin match is against Bruce Mouat and Great Britain on Wednesday at 8:05 p.m. ET.

The final draw of the competition has huge implication for the last semifinal spot. The United States needs to win to qualify. But should it lose, the Norwegians would then have a chance grab the final qualifying spot with a win over Italy.
