The United States women's curling team is in a strong position to advance to the Olympic semifinals during their pivotal match against Switzerland.
Heading into the final end of play, Team USA holds a three-point advantage. The Americans simply need to avoid a major setback in the concluding moments to secure their place in the playoffs.
However, the Swiss team possesses the "hammer," or the last-stone advantage, for this final end, meaning the US squad cannot afford to relax until the last stone is thrown.
