Canada's Kerri Einarson dropped a 6-5 decision to Japan's Satsuki Fujisawa at the women's world curling championship on Thursday.
The Manitoba-based team of Einarson, Val Sweeting, Shannon Birchard and Briane Harris gave up a steal of two in the eighth end, but responded with a deuce in the ninth to tie the game."It ended up being just fine for weight so it was just mismanaged," Einarson said of the missed shot.Canada fell into a third-place tie with Italy's Stefania Constantini at 6-4. Sweden's Anna Hasselborg was alone in second place behind Switzerland's Silvana Tirinzoni .
Canada will play Turkey's Dilsat Yildiz on Friday before closing out round-robin play against Denmark's Madeleine Dupont. The top six rinks in the 13-team field will advance to the playoffs starting Saturday. Medal games are scheduled for Sunday at the Goransson Arena. Canada started Thursday's game by forcing Japan to a single in the opening end, then earned a deuce in the second end.
After Japan blanked two ends, Canada stole a point on a missed runback from Japan for a 3-1 lead at the fifth-end break.
