- The CC Aarau team equaled the Swiss opening record at the Olympics with an 8: 4 victory over Canada.
- The Swiss curlers will not be active again against Sweden until Monday (1:05 pm).

Switzerland, for its part, continues a sinless record in Beijing. 5 wins in the first 5 games, this is the first time the Swiss women’s team has done so at the Olympics. In Salt Lake City in 2002, Skip Lucia Epnothar’s team won the first 5 games.
On Monday, Barbusat, Neuenshwander, Trinhoni and Bots are likely to become the only achievers with a sixth win. However, the task is not easy. Switzerland face Sweden at 1.05pm.
