Dear All

Jim Law here again with an update on what's happening at the World Junior Curling Championships here at Flims. I'm sure you have been following Mike Haggerty's reports (here), but here's a summary of the rankings after Wednesday's games in the junior men's competition. In draw 7, Switzerland beat Canada, and that's what the photo above is about as fans persuade members of the Swiss team to sign autographs!

Standings after Round Robin Junior Men’s Draw 7:

NORWAY 6-1
SCOTLAND 6-1
CANADA 5-2
CHINA 5-2
SWITZERLAND 5-2

All for now.

Jim
