End but a stone Schwallers went too far, which is why the Italian Skip Joel Retornaz, the extra ends could enforce. But when it came down to it, retained the Solothurner the nerves and secured the Switzerland, after all, the 7:5 victory.
In the semi-final against Denmark in the evening, Marcel Käufeler, Romano Meier, Michael Brunner, and Schwaller had a high form.
