China makes history, claims world curling gold Source: WCF Press Release
(Mar 29, 2009) -- New era of curling confirmed as Vancouver 2010 looms
GANGNEUNG, Korea -- Ten years ago, Bingyu Wang of China didn't know what a curling stone was.
Sunday afternoon in Gangneung, Korea she and her teammates defeated the two-time world and 2006 Olympic champions from Sweden to capture the Mount Titlis World Women's Curling Championship 2009.
Winners of 11 straight games coming in to the final, the squad from Harbin exchanged misses with Anette Norberg's Swedish foursome over the first few ends, swapping single points as the crowd of 3,800 buzzed in anticipation.
