Canada
to meet holders Sweden in women's final
[February 19, 2014] SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) — Canada's Jennifer Jones kept her nerve to send her unbeaten team into the women's Olympic curling final at the expense of Britain on Wednesday.

Canada, the first women's team to make it through an Olympic
round robin without a loss, will play Sweden in a repeat of the
2010 final after the holders edged Switzerland in the other
semi. Canadian skip Jones sealed a 6-4 win over Britain with the final
stone of the match, a fitting reward for the Canadians who had
the contest under control after taking a 3-0 lead following the
first two ends. Sweden, who are seeking a third successive women's gold medal,
came through to win 7-5 despite having trailed with eight of the
10 ends completed. (Writing by Keith Weir; editing by Robert Woodwared) [© 2014 Thomson Reuters. All rights reserved.] Copyright
