Hardly any semi-final chances left for German wheelchair curlers

Pyeongchang (SID) The German wheelchair curlers have almost lost their chances of reaching the semi-finals at the Paralympics in Pyeongchang. After a promising start to the tournament, the team led by skip Christiane Putzich (Füssen) lost significantly against Great Britain 3:8 and Switzerland 4:9 on Wednesday. After nine preliminary round games, Germany slipped into the field of twelve with four wins and five defeats, four of them in a row. In order to have any chance of reaching the semi-finals, national coach Bernd Weißer's team would have to win against the favored Canadians and Finland on Thursday. "After the good start with a 4-1 win, things aren't going so well anymore. That's a shame for the team. I hope that they can flip the switch again," said Karl Quade, Vice President of the German Disabled Sports Association (DBS). Wednesday. At last year's World Cup in Pyeongchang, Germany finished ninth and only avoided relegation by increasing the A group from ten to twelve teams. In their only previous participation at the Paralympics in 2010 in Vancouver, the German wheelchair curlers clearly missed the semi-finals.
