US down by two, and this is turning out to be quite an interesting final end. US is going to need to make a fantastic final shot to tie, but they are in good shape. The German skip is awesome, however, and has the hammer.

Update: Penultimate US shot puts two in the house. We’ll see what the German skip can do with his penultimate shot.

Update: The German skip does it, knocks both US stones out, and the US concedes. Women play their first match in about two hours.
