Mouat finished with 12 takeouts and teammate Grant Hardie had 14. Great Britain shot 88 percent on takeout attempts and 87 percent on all shots.

SCOREBOARD

Both Norway and Italy had four-point ends in Sunday's match, but Norway's came when they needed it most.

In the critical 10th, Italy skip Joel Retornaz landed his final stone right on top of his other sitting stone, leaving an easy double for Norway's Magnus Ramsfjell. The Norwegian skip did his job, knocking both yellow stones out while sitting his own for four and Norway's final three-point lead.

Earlier in the match, Norway plated three in the fourth and Italy responded with four in the fifth. Ramsfjell's final throw of the fifth went into the rings, leaving both teams with three stones in the house. Retornaz took out all three of those Norwegian stones to give the Italians a 5-4 lead at the break. 

Each team scored singles and stole singles in the sixth through ninth, sending Norway into the 10th trailing, 7-6.

SCOREBOARD

Canada bounced back from a loss on Saturday to defeat China by three on Sunday.

After going into the half tied, 2-2, the Canadians doubled their score in the sixth end, and added two more in the eighth.

Canada shot 92 percent on takeout attempts, and outshot China 88-81 percent on the night.

Canada (4-1) will next play Czechia at 3:05 a.m. ET on Monday. At the same time, China (0-5) will face Italy.

SCOREBOARD

Sunday set up a showdown between the top team so far in Cortina and the defending world champions, and it Switzerland that came out ahead after an extra end of play.

The two teams were virtually tied of all statistics. Switzerland barely outshot Team GB, 89-87 percent. Great Britain had a marginally better takeout percentage (83-82 percent), and they were even, both shooting 91 percent on draws.

But the Swiss squad had 40 takeouts to just 26 for Great Britain, and that seemed to be the difference.

Switzerland (5-0) will get Monday off and will return to face Sweden at 3:05 a.m. ET on Monday.

Great Britain (4-2) will next face Norway on Monday at 8:05 a.m. ET.
