The Japan men's and women's curling teams struggled on Tuesday, going down to powerhouses Canada and Great Britain, respectively, at the Pyeongchang Olympics.
In the day's mid-session at the Gangneung Curling Centre, the women pushed the experienced British team but were outmaneuvered in the latter ends to fall 8-6.
The men could not match the three-time reigning Olympic champion Canada, losing 8-4.
