The table is officially set for the medal-awarding mixed doubles curling matches.

Italy, who went 9-0 in round robin, advanced through the semifinals with an easy 8-1 victory over Sweden.

On the other side, Norway defeated Great Britain 6-5 in a thrilling result. In the eighth and final end, Norway positioned itself to win it on the last throw of the match. Kristin Skaslien threw the final stone as her teammate Magnus Nedregotten swept, and the stone took out Great Britain's to seal the victory.
