HARBIN, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) -- China lost to Team ROK 8-4 in the Curling Mixed Doubles Semifinals of the Harbin Asian Winter Games on Friday.

The Chinese pair Han Yu and Wang Zhiyu once defeated Team ROK 6-4 in the Round-Robin on Thursday, but they failed to repeat that in the semifinal.

Team ROK took a 5-2 lead after the first four ends. Although China added two points in the sixth end, Team ROK sealed the victory in 8-4.

"The mentality didn't change much in the two matches against Team ROK, but I didn't control the key stone well and missed the opportunity," Han said after the match.

In another semifinal, Japan won over the Philippines 10-3.

Japan and the Republic of Korea will show down in the final on Saturday, while the bronze medal will be decided between China and the Philippines.
