World Women’s Curling Championship: Wednesday Recap

Mar 23, 2022 | 11:35 PM

PRINCE GEORGE — It took a strong effort to hault the late momentum from Sweden as Canada’s Kerri Einarson held them off to win 10-8 at the World Women’s Curling Championships Wednesday morning.

Einarson led 8-2 after five ends, but Sweden’s Anna Hasselborg fought back to take the game to a 10th end.

Canada (5-2) also picked up a win forfeited by Scotland, which withdrew on the second day of the championship with four players testing positive for COVID-19.

The Canadians were scheduled to take on the Scots in the evening draw and were thus 6-2 by the end of the day.

Canada now sits in a two-way tie for third place in the standings with Korea, only behind undefeated Switzerland and second-place Sweden.
