Here's a look at some of the 2022 Winter Games events you may have missed overnight on day 12 in Beijing.
Curling
Jennifer Jones and her team won their third-straight match after downing the U.S. rink 7-6 on Wednesday. Jones now has a 4-3 record in the round robin with two more games to play. Canada is currently tied for third in the standings with Japan. Canada was scheduled to play China before closing out round-robin play Thursday against Denmark's Madeleine Dupont.
