Olympics: Japan brushes past Canada for 1st curling win of games

Japan notched its first win of the Beijing Winter Olympics women's curling tournament Friday, prevailing 8-5 against a Canada team that repeatedly failed to capitalize with the hammer.

Skipper Satsuki Fujisawa and team Loco Solare scored against the hammer in the first, fourth and fifth ends on the way to a convincing victory at the National Aquatics Centre.

The result left world No. 7 Japan with a 1-1 record in round-robin play following an 8-5 defeat to reigning Olympic champion Sweden the previous day.

Japan scored on the opening end after Canada skip Jennifer Jones put too much weight on the hammer, which stopped centimeters away from conceding a second point to Japan.

World No. 5 Canada went up 2-1 in the second, raising their own guard to take out Japan's counter and score two with the hammer.

Fujisawa applied the perfect line and weight to the final stone to score two in the third, before the Pyeongchang Olympic bronze medal-winning team extended the lead by scoring one against the hammer in each of the fourth and fifth.

The Canadians were primed to pull a point back in the fifth with an unobstructed path to the button on the final stone, but Jones did not apply enough weight, leaving it just outside Japan's counter.

Canada cut the lead to 5-4 in the sixth, but Japan answered straight back with a two-ender of its own in the seventh.

Taking an 8-5 lead into the 10th and final end, Japan comfortably countered Canada's last-ditch attempt at a comeback.
