REGINA — Norway’s Thomas Ulsrud will play Scotland’s Tommy Brewster here in the semi-final Saturday night at the 2011 World Men’s Curling Championship.
The winner of Norway-Scotland will advance to play Winnipeg’s Jeff Stoughton Sunday night in the world championship final.
Norway advanced to tonight’s semi-final with a 7-2 thrashing of Sweden’s Niklas Edin Saturday afternoon in the page playoff 3 vs 4 game. Ulsrud scored three in the second end and then piled on steals in each of the next three ends to take an insurmountable 7-1 lead over the young Swedish champions.
The Norwegians are the hottest team remaining here, having registered seven straight sudden-death victories after opening the worlds with a 2-4 record.
That run of Norway victories includes stealing a 7-6 win over a distracted Canadian foursome on the final round-robin draw Thursday night that kept them alive in this event.
