On paper they had to be two easy wins to collect but the Azzurri lost against the Netherlands and had to settle for just the victory over the Danes. Playoff hopes still live.
Wednesday 6 April 2022 3 minutes reading time
Bad defeat for Italy in the first of 2 matches on the fourth day of the World Cup in Las Vegas. Ahead 6-2 with the last stone in the fifth, the Azzurri are made up by the Netherlands, led by the skip with the lowest performance (65%) of the review and beaten in all four previous matches. Jöel Retornaz paid dearly for three mistakes: in the fifth he went along with the point by conceding a stolen hand from 3, in the ninth he missed the promotion when perhaps it would have been more appropriate to put the second point undergoing 3 more stones and in the tenth he did not succeed. a full pass within reach. Despite the 3 games lost, Italy has the fifth percentage of play in the group and Retornaz remains one of the best 3 skips.
But the Italian quartet has a great reaction of character in the second match of the day. After the scorching comeback suffered by the Netherlands, Team Retornaz beat Denmark 7-3 at the ninth end. Just a promotion in the fifth and a full rejection in the eighth, the same missed shots in the previous challenge, offer the opportunity to redeem the blue skip, who scores 2 points in both situations. After the first four days of the group, Italy are fifth in the standings (3-3). Thanks to a less penalizing calendar on paper than several direct competitors, with 6 games still to be played, the hopes of a historic playoff remain open. Today, a very important day with two mini play-offs: South Korea at 6 pm and Germany at 11 pm.
