The Dutch curlers lost again at the World Championships in Calgary on Tuesday. National coach Shari Leibbrandt’s team lost 10-4 to defending champions Sweden.
A place in the top six countries and therefore a direct placement for the 2022 Olympic Games is normally no longer possible in the Netherlands, where Jaap van Dorp is the captain.
With seven losses and just one victory, the Netherlands are in fourteenth and last place. Germany, which played one game less, is the only other country to win one.
With a place outside the top six, the chance of a ticket to the Beijing Games has not completely passed for the Orange. There will be one final Olympic qualifying tournament.
The curlers, who have finished eleventh, tenth and tenth respectively in the previous three World Cups, still play against Germany, Japan, Switzerland, the United States and Italy at the current World Cup. .
