Sweden's Stina Viktorsson defeated Scotland's Gail Munro 9-5 on day two of the World Women's Curling Championship in Canada.

The Swedes fought back from a 3-1 deficit with deuces in the fourth and ninth ends and also stole two points in the seventh end.

China's Bingyu Wang stole victory from Russia's Liudmila Privivkova when the Russian skip was heavy with a tap on her last rock of the game.

Russia came home one point up and with last rock advantage, but the Chinese stole two for the unexpected 8-7 win.

The Russians started strongly, taking four in the second end and stealing a point in the third for a 5-1 lead.

China is at 2-0, while Russia is in early trouble at 0-2. Sweden and Scotland are both at 1-1.

Denmark suffered their first loss, 8-6 to Japan, and Switzerland won a wild 12-11 slugfest over Germany, in a match that featured five three-enders.

German veteran Andrea Schoepp managed a three in the 10th end to force an extra frame, and Swiss skip Mirjam Ott faced three German counters on her last rock of the game, and scored the win with a robust triple-takeout.

Japanese skip Moe Meguro drew the button to move her team to 2-1, dropping Denmark's Angelina Jensen to the same record.

Even Debbie McCormick's United States entry, competing in its third straight World Championship, was forced into tight contest by a stubborn Italian team. Skip Diana Gaspari had a shot to tie the game and force an extra-end, but missed, sending Italy down to a winless 0-3 record.

Canada made short work of the Czech Republic's rookie outfit, scoring six points in the fifth end for an inflated 11-4 victory. Canada and China are the only undefeated teams at 2-0.
