China book PyeongChang curling berth

China defeated Italy 11-4 at the Olympic Qualification Event in Pilsen, Czech Republic, though Italy still have the chance to qualify when they take on Denmark on Sunday.

It was Diana Gaspair's Italian rink who opened the scoring against China when the skip drew her final stone of the first end to score three points.

But from then on it was advantage China, scoring three points in the third end before four more in the fourth.

A score of one in the sixth end and further Chinese single point steals in the seventh and eighth ends wrapped up the win for China as Italy conceded.

Wang won bronze at the Vancouver Olympics in 2010 before competing in Sochi four years later, and she couldn't be happier to be on the place to PyeongChang.

"It feels so great - this is my third time [at the Games]," said Wang.

"It wasn't easy for me or the team but we tried our best and we're going there - we're so happy!

"I think everyone was a little nervous, so we had some mistakes, but we didn't lose ourselves, we just continued one stone at a time.

"This is a big thing for me and the team. I think everyone at home will be proud of us."
