Scotland face two potential top-six deciders against Denmark and China on Friday at the World Women’s Curling Championship in South Korea.
As expected, Sophie Jackson’s rink consigned Turkey to a ninth defeat in their 10 round-robin games.
The 10-6 win on Thursday means the Scots sit sixth in the table with six wins and four defeats, one place above Madeleine Dupont’s Danes, who have won five of theirs with two games remaining.
Only the top six progress to the next stage and a win over the Danes could take the pressure off the Scots when they face China, who sit fifth with six wins and three defeats, in their final round-robin game.
Rui Wang’s China are currently ranked 17th in the world, two places above the Scots, while Dupont’s Danes are 30th.
Four-time world champion Silvana Tirinzoni’s Swiss are the only team to have guaranteed qualification so far despite suffering their first round-robin defeat when the world number two side were edged out 7-6 by Rachel Homan’s holders and world number ones Canada.
The Canadians, Anna Hasselborg’s Sweden and Eunji Gim’s hosts all have seven wins and two defeats.
The top eight nations in the Olympic standings at the end of the event are assured of their places at Milan/Cortina 2026.
Great Britain currently sit eighth after Jackson and her team’s showing at the 2024 World Championship.
