The Japanese women's curling team beat the Olympic Athletes from Russia 10-5 on Saturday, bouncing back after a 7-6 loss to China, their first defeat of the Pyeongchang Winter Games, earlier in the day.
The late win left Japan second in the standings with a 4-1 record after the halfway point of the round robin stage and kept the team on track for a semifinal berth.
With the lead seesawing through the first three ends, Japan took control in the fourth, when skip Satsuki Fujisawa set up the team for two points by nestling the penultimate draw against OAR's only stone in the house, preventing a takeout.
