Ten teams are competing in Prague at the World Wheelchair Curling Championship Qualifying Competition, for the final two places at the 2009 Worlds in Vancouver next February. After 7 draws of round robin competition, China, Germany and the Czech Republic are unbeaten. Sentimental favourite Japan, forced to qualify when their pre-tournament tie-break draw to the button at the 2008 Worlds lost by millimetres, are out of contention at 1-5.

I heard a rumour that Chris Daw was coaching the Team from China!
Does anyone know????
Not this week - Chris is recovering from a broken hip after an ATV accident.
Not any other week either, though he may work with the nascent Newfoundland/Labrador provincial wheelchair curling team if and when he is fit again.
An anonymous poster suggests that Chris Daw has indeed been working with the China team. I will attempt to discover some details and update the blog if necessary.
