A new Olympic record was established when Great Britain scored seven points in one end against the United States.[3] Great Britain also equalled the record for total points scored in one game, scoring twelve points against the United States and against Japan. Canada, skipped by Jennifer Jones, became the first women's rink to go through an Olympic tournament undefeated.[4] Great Britain, by winning the bronze medal became the youngest rink to ever step onto an Olympic curling podium.[5]
