THE Philippines’ Marc Pfister and Kathleen Dubberstein ran into China’s great wall in Wang Zhiyu and Han Yu, 9-6, on Wednesday night that denied the former pair a chance at claiming an outright semis seat in curling’s mixed doubles event of the 9th Asian Winter Games in Harbin, China.
Instead, it will be the Chinese who claimed the first of the two Group B slots to semis set for Friday after claiming their fourth win in as many outings regardless of their last group stage duel with the Qataris last night.
The Philippines though could stay in the semis hunt if they could hurdle the Kazakhs — Amina Seitzhanova and Azizbek Nadirbayev — also last night.
