Spallumcheen香蕉视频直播檚 Ina Forrest has three Paralympics wheelchair curling medals to her credit.

She will play for a fourth.

Forrest and Team Canada punched its ticket to the semifinals Thursday morning, March 10, with a dramatic come-from-behind 7-6 win over Norway, finishing with a 7-3 record and a guaranteed spot in the top four.

Trailing by three with three ends to play, Canada scored two, bringing the Norwegians within one. A great hit and roll by Canada香蕉视频直播檚 Jon Thurston forced Norway to one in the seventh, meaning Canada would play the eighth down two, with the hammer.

A perfect end by the Canadians and a costly miss from Norway left Canada sitting three with two rocks to come. Norwegian skip Jostein Stordahl attempted a freeze, but left enough room that a well placed Canadian takeout could remove it, and win the game.

And that香蕉视频直播檚 exactly what happened. After the dust had settled, Canada scored three and completed the comeback win, 7-6.

香蕉视频直播淚 just stuck to my process. I really wanted to confirm the weight and the path,香蕉视频直播� said Thurston, who throws fourth stones for Canada, to Curling Canada. 香蕉视频直播淲e talked it out so I was clear on what I was trying to do. I threw it nice and positive, and we got the result we wanted.香蕉视频直播�

A Canadian loss would not have guaranteed elimination, but it would have made a mess of the leaderboard, as several teams are hovering around the four loss mark with two draws left to play. There were dozens of potential permutations, but the Canadian victory means that all those situations will be avoided.

Canada has now completed its 10-game round robin, but due to the space in the draw left by the banned team from Russia, some teams still have two games to play. While China, Sweden, and Canada are confirmed playoff teams, the fourth and final playoff spot won香蕉视频直播檛 be decided until late Thursday night (early Thursday morning Eastern Time).

香蕉视频直播淚 think we thought we should be a playoff team, so it香蕉视频直播檚 great that we officially are,香蕉视频直播� said Forrest, third for Team Canada. 香蕉视频直播淚 think we just go forward playing the same no matter who we play 香蕉视频直播� treating every shot like it matters, and do your best on every single one. We don香蕉视频直播檛 ever quit, so we香蕉视频直播檙e always going to be there.香蕉视频直播�

But first, the team will take some time to decompress.

The semifinals are slated for Friday, March 11, and the gold-medal game goes Saturday, March 12.

香蕉视频直播� Lumby香蕉视频直播檚 Logan Leach and guide Julien Petit had no official result for Canada in the Para Alpine men香蕉视频直播檚 visually impaired giant slalom race Thursday morning, March 9.

Leach, at 19, the youngest member of Team Canada香蕉视频直播檚 Paralympians, and Petit got through the course in one minute 5.85 seconds in their first run, but did not finish the second run for no official result.
