SOCHI, Russia — Canada is in a rush at the women’s Olympic curling tournament.

After requiring just seven of the 10 ends to crush China 9-2 on Monday, the Canadians secured a surprisingly easy 9-3 win over two-time defending champion Sweden in another shortened game over just eight ends Tuesday.

It earned the team some extra time to head up to the mountains and support their compatriots.

“We’ll enjoy some mountain air and cheer on some Canadians,” said Canada skip Jennifer Jones, whose team has a bye in the evening. “I think we’ll go and watch some slopestyle.”

Switzerland and Russia also are 2-0 after claiming wins on Tuesday.

Roared on by boisterous home fans, the Russians defeated the U.S. 9-6 for the Americans’ second straight loss. The U.S. let slip a 4-1 lead after three ends, with Russia stealing two crucial points in the fifth after U.S. skip Erika Brown was short with a draw.

Home fans chanted and blew horns even when players were about to deliver the stones — not the etiquette in some curling countries.
