11th end, tied 5-5, USA has the hammer, first score wins

12 rocks left, Norway +2, but they are marginal

really bad shot by USA

10 rocks left, Norway +3

Norway is trying to set up a wall to steal a point for the win

8 rocks left, Norway +3, USA fails to clear anything out

6 rocks left, Norway +2

Norway is trying hard to hang on to their scoring position

4 rocks left, Norway +2

If USA chokes despite having the hammer, that will be sad

Norway calls their last timeout to look it over

3 rocks left, Norway +3 but the middle is still open

USA calls their last time out

2 rocks left, Norway +1

USA has left Norway with a very tough shot to defend their point. I dont see an easy way for them to keep USA from scoring

last rock of the game, Norway +1, they did a good job of making this difficult for USA, USA wins or loses on this shot

CHOKE! USA fails to score with the hammer, Norway scores 1 point.

Final in 11 ends, Norway wins 6-5
