At this point, Wang moved from throwing last rocks to throwing third rocks, but still skipping the team.

They beat the Canadians once again in the 1-2 playoff game, but they were not able to make it three in a row against the Canadians, as they lost in the final. The team won the silver medal, the first ever medal for Chinese team and Pacific team at the World Curling Championships for either gender.
