Qatar’s men’s team stayed on the ice to savour the moment after their win against Hong Kong in the Pacific-Asia Curling Championships in Shenzhen, China on Tuesday. This marked their second victory of the event – the first time ever beating anyone other than Kazakhstan.
After a back and forth battle, it came down to Hong Kong skip, Jason Chang’s, final stone. Chang flashed his attempt at a take-out for two points, giving Qatar a stolen point, and the victory 8-5.
Qatar lead Abdulrahman Ali Mohsen was delighted after the game, “We were playing our best so we feel really good winning this game, and we had fun.
“At the beginning of the game we felt we were in control, but when they scored three we thought we may lose the game. But then we responded strongly after half time and won it.”
At the top of the standings remains China and Korea, who are undefeated, with Japan close behind at four wins and one loss. New Zealand also picked up a key victory this session, against Chinese Taipei, to lock in fourth place, 8-7.
