The three mixed doubles group winners Latvia, hosts Turkey and Denmark all triumphed in the playoffs at the World Curling Federation Pre-Olympic Qualification Event in Erzurum, advancing to December's Olympic Qualification Event in Leeuwarden in The Netherlands.

The three automatically reached the qualification finals after winning all of their group matches.

Latvia took on Kazakhstan's Angelina Ebauyer and Madiyar Korabayev, after the Group B runners-up overcame the third-placed pair in Group C in Austria's Hannah Augustin and Martin Reichel 6-5.

Daina Barone and Arnis Veidemanis beat the Kazakh pair 9-6 to book Latvia's place in Leeuwarden.

Portugal's April Gale Seixeiro and Steve Seixeiro were the only third-placed pair to progress through the semi-finals as they beat Chinese Taipei's Amanda Chou and Brendon Liu 8-7.

However, they then lost by the same scoreline to Turkish pair Dilşat Yıldız and Uğurcan Karagöz in the final, with their opponents scoring a decisive two points in the eighth and final end.
