Canada’s Koe falls 7-5 to Switzerland at curling world championship
BEIJING, China – Canada’s Kevin Koe had to settle for fourth place at the world men’s curling championship after falling 7-5 to Switzerland in Sunday’s bronze-medal match.
Koe’s Calgary rink came into the 10th end down by three, but couldn’t muster the comeback, scoring just a single point in the final end against the Swiss team.
Peter de Cruz of Switzerland scored singles in the first and second ends to jump out to an early 2-0 lead, but Koe responded with a double in the third to tie the game.
A single in the fourth put the Swiss up 3-2, but Koe replied to make it 3-3 in the fifth.
Switzerland went ahead for good with two points in the sixth end, and added two more in the ninth to seal the victory.
Koe scored one in the eighth.
Norway plays Sweden later Sunday for gold.
