Canada Rallies to Tie Game 3-3 with Big Steal in Fourth End
In a thrilling display of precision and patience, Team Canada clawed back into contention at the halfway mark, tying the game 3-3 with a pivotal steal of two in the fourth end. The turning point came after a near-flawless end by the Canadians, capped off by a perfectly placed shot that just squeaked past the guard.
After falling behind 3-1 in the early ends, Canada was in need of a momentum shift, and they delivered in style. With strong set-up shots and excellent sweeping, they managed to clutter the house with red stones, putting pressure on the opposition. The key moment came on Canada’s final stone, a delicate draw that required curling just enough around a high guard. The rock narrowly missed contact, threading the needle to land in the four-foot, creating a near-impossible situation for the opposing skip.
Team Canada then watched as their opponents failed to remove both counters, leaving two red stones untouched in the rings — a steal of two, and a game tied at three apiece.
This end showcased the Canadian team’s resilience and strategic prowess. The communication between sweepers and the skip was crisp, and the shot-making was clinical. The steal not only leveled the score but also shifted the momentum clearly in Canada’s favor heading into the fifth end.
With the hammer returning to their opponents, Canada will look to keep the pressure on and force another mistake. If this fourth end is any indication, fans are in for a tight and dramatic second half.
The energy in the arena has picked up noticeably, and so has Canada’s confidence. With the game now tied, everything is back on the table, and this one could go down to the final stone.
