In a riveting showdown at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Paralympics, China's wheelchair curling mixed team advanced to the final after edging Sweden 7-6 on Friday. The Chinese squad, fresh off a 7-4 semifinal victory against Slovakia, demonstrated tenacity and skill in a contest that showcased both strategic brilliance and unflinching nerve.

China jumped out to an early 2-0 lead after the first two ends, setting a confident tone. Sweden responded in the third end, however, scoring three points to snatch the momentum. But the Europeans faltered in the sixth end, plagued by critical errors that allowed China to capitalize on their miscues.

Wang Haitao emerged as a key player at the pivotal moment, helping the Chinese team rally with a vital three-point contribution, moving the squad back in front by two points. From that stage onward, China exerted control over the contest, steadily maintaining the advantage and ultimately triumphing 7-6. The victory sent China into the final against Canada.
