Skipper Kim Eun-jung and the South Korean women’s curling team continued an unlikely run at the Pyeongchang Olympics on Friday, beating Japan to progress to the gold-medal match.
The team dubbed the "Garlic Girls" due to its members hailing from Uiseong, a town famous for garlic, was too good for fellow curling minnows Japan, winning 8-7.
The home team will cross broomsticks with Sweden in Sunday’s final after the two-time Olympic champion disposed of Great Britain 10-5 in the other semifinal.
