CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy, Feb 18 - Gim Eun-ji's South Korea claimed an impressive 8-3 win over round-robin leaders Sweden on Wednesday in the women's curling competition at the Winter Olympics to remain in the hunt for a top-four finish and a spot in the semi-finals.

South Korea made a quick start to the game, bagging a three-pointer in the first end and then stealing five points over the next three ends to hand Anna Hasselborg's side just their second defeat of the competition.
