World mixed doubles quarterfinals

 Wow. Just wow. Canada was down 5-1 to Switzerland. They won 7-6 in an extra end. (Mixed doubles are 8 ends). Did I mention that Kerri Einarson made a heck of a shot to tie it in the 8th? Did she ever. Canada gets Scotland in the second semi final at 12:30 pm. Other quarterfinal had Norway beat Italy 7-5 and will face Sweden in the other semi final. That is at 9am. USA vs Czech Republic is also at 9am. The winner of that game gets the last Olympic spot for mixed doubles in Beijing. (Canada, Sweden and Switzerland have a spot in men's, women's and mixed doubles)
