A perfect preliminary round, this is the result of the Swiss at the European Championships in Lohja. After a success against Estonia 6-5, CC Aarau will challenge Italy in the semi-final (to be continued from 7:00 p.m. on RTS 2). The Swiss also snatched their place in the last four.
The Swiss faced a greater challenge than expected. The Estonians indeed fought until the 10th end with the advantage of the last stone. Fortunately for Silvana Tirinzoni and her teammates, their stone was a few millimeters closer to the center than that of the Estonians.
This victory allows CC Aarau to extend their winning streak at the European Championships to 20. Last year, they won all 11 of their matches to bag their first continental title
