The German curlers celebrated their first successes on the second day of the World Championships in Sandviken, Sweden.
One day after the false start to the World Cup tournament with a 5:12 against Scotland, the team around Skip Daniela Jentsch (Füssen) first won against World Cup debutant New Zealand 8:2 and then 7:4 against previously undefeated Italy.
In the fourth duel, Germany, the two-time title winner on Monday (2:00 p.m.), meets the still undefeated leaders Switzerland. To qualify for the quarter-finals, Germany must finish the preliminary round in at least sixth place. The two best teams even reach the semi-finals directly.
