          BEIJING, May 10 (Xinhua) -- Both the hosts and Canada's women enjoyed victory on the third day of the 2019 Curling World Cup Grand Final at the Beijing 2022 Ice Hockey arena on Friday.

          After the 6-5 loss to Japan in the morning, Team Jiang Yilun of China faced Team Nina Roth of the United States in the afternoon session. The Americans led by 2-1 before Jiang helped China surpass by 3-2 with a successful delivery into the house to finish the first half.

          With each team scoring another point, another perfect delivery from Jiang secured victory for China with three more points, leading the American team to retire after the seventh end when China led by 7-3.

          "Although there were ups and downs, but we thought calmly and made the decision together," said Jiang. "It was a physical and mental challenge for us; the Americans had an excellent performance but we grasped the opportunity at the end," Jiang added.

          Team Jennifer Jones of Canada once again proved too tough a test for Team Satsuki Fujisawa of Japan in their session 10 round robin game, needing a shootout to defeat them 7-6 in a game that was anyone's to lose throughout the proceedings.

          Canada scored the first point with by the book shooting from the whole team, but Japan quickly answered with two of their own over the course of the next two ends.

          If there was ever an end that showed the likelihood of Canada edging out their opponents with just a bit more momentum, it was the fourth, with Canada on the hammer.

          Japan opened with lead Yurika Yoshida putting up a front guard that would set off a round of tit-for-tat front guards which Canada's Caitlin Lawes and Shannon Brichard managed to break with a couple of beautiful draws right on the button that stuck.

          Overall, Canada proved more skilled at logging crucial takeouts when it appeared that the Japanese were encircling their attempts, with Jones shooting at 60% on her throws and proving adept at wiggling out of many close calls.

          In mixed doubles, China's Cao Chang and Yuan Mingjie lost spectacularly in the night session, falling to Michele Jaeggi and Sven Michel from Switzerland 10-1, and especially bitter rout coming off the heels of their 9-2 loss to Team Canada 1.

          Other action saw world championship winner Sweden defeat China's men's team to go atop Group A with a 3-1 record, followed by China who have two victories and two losses. Team Scotland and Switzerland are tied at the top of Group B with a 3-0 record.
