Two sessions of the women's curling competition were held on Tuesday. Here's a look back at all the action...
South Korea 8, Sweden 3 (Session 1)
After starting the tournament with six straight wins, Sweden has now dropped back-to-back contests, losing in a big way to South Korea on Wednesday.
The Koreans put the game out of reach quickly, scoring three in the first. Anna Hasselborg's final throw didn't curl into the two Korean stones that were sitting shot, allowing Gim Eun-Ji to just draw to the button for the lead.
Gim's team stole one more in the second, the start of a stealing spree totaling five total points over the next three ends for an 8-0 lead.
Sweden was only able to put together single points in the fifth, sixth, and seventh, and decided the deficit was too much from there. They conceded the final three ends.
South Korea improves to 5-3, keeping their semifinal hopes alive. They'll be off for the afternoon session, and will finish round-robin play on Thursday at 8:05 a.m. ET against Canada.

Denmark 8, China 7 (Session 1)
Despite going four straight ends without scoring, Denmark came up with one when they needed it most for a single-point victory over China on Wednesday.
Denmark scored four in the third to take a 6-1 lead, but China battled back. Wang Rui's team scored one in the fourth, then stole another in the fifth, two in the sixth, and one more in the seventh to even the score.
After the teams traded single points in the ninth, Denmark won it in the 10th. On her first throw, Madeleine Dupont threw a draw down the left side of the ice that landed just inside the eight-foot. Rui's subsequent draw attempt landed inches out, leaving Denmark sitting shot-rock. Dupont didn't even need to throw her final rock as her team had already won.

Great Britain 9, Japan 3 (Session 2)
Great Britain kept its semifinal hopes alive with a victory over Japan in the penultimate game of round-robin play on Wednesday.
Rebecca Morrison's team went up early with three in the third. Sayaka Yoshimura's final throw scored a takeout, but the stone sat next to an opposing red, and Morrison gave it just enough of a delicate little tap to give Great Britain a 3-0 lead.
They grew the lead to 4-0 with a steal in the third, and added two more in the fifth to go into the halfway break up, 6-1.
With the win, Great Britain improves to 4-4 and is 6th in the tournament standings. If they win their final round-robin game on Thursday against Italy, and the U.S. loses theirs to Switzerland, Great Britain would clinch a berth in the semifinals.
Japan (1-7) will finish its time in Cortina on Thursday against China. Both games on Thursday will begin at 8:05 a.m. ET.

Canada 8, Italy 7 (Session 2)
Rachel Homan's draw attempt on her final throw of the 11th end looked to be coming up short, but it glided just inches in front of the Italian's sitting stone, giving the Canadians a single point and the extra-ends win.
Italy forced extras by scoring three in the tenth. Stefania Constantini took out Canada's lone rock in the eight-foot to leave her team with three splayed across the house.
Canada led, 3-2, at the end of five in a low-scoring first half. They added two in each of the sixth and ninth ends to maintain the lead before the Italian's big end.
With the win, Canada (5-3) keeps its semifinal hopes alive with one game remaining. They're currently tied with South Korea and the United States for 3rd in the standings. They'll face South Korea in the round-robin finale on Thursday at 8:05 a.m. ET.

Sweden 9, China 4 (Session 2)
Sweden got back in the win column and finished their round-robin play in Cortina with a decisive victory.
Anna Hasselborg's team scored two points in each of the second and third ends, and added another single in the fifth to go into the break up, 5-3.
They put the game away for good in the eighth. China's final stone sat as a high guard to protect their shot stone in the back of the four-foot. But the blocker was no match for Hasselborg. Her shot came well around the guard and hit the Chinese stone sitting on the eight-foot, then rolled into house and took out the shot-stone to finish the game.
China conceded the final two ends.
Sweden finishes round-robin play 7-2 and clinches the No. 1 seed in the semifinals, which will be played on Friday morning.
China (2-6) will play their final game in Cortina on Thursday against Japan, beginning at 8:05 a.m. ET.

Switzerland 6, Denmark 4 (Session 2)
Switzerland turned a two-point deficit in the 10th into a three-point win over Denmark on Wednesday.
On their sixth throw of the final end, Switzerland's Silvana Tirinzoni landed a draw just off the side of the button and behind the T-Line, giving Denmark an opening. But Denmark's ensuing throw overcurled and tapped the Swiss stone closer, leaving them sitting three.
On her team's final throw, Madeleine Dupont missed the takeout attempt, and Switzerland didn't even need to throw their final rock. They sat three, which put them ahead for the win.
After going up two in the second, the Swiss squad went five straight ends without scoring.
Switzerland (6-2) clinches the second semifinal spot with the win. They will finish round-robin play on Tuesday against Team USA. The match will begin at 8:05 a.m. ET.
Denmark finishes round-robin play and their Olympics 4-5.
