Mar 18, 2024 at 03:43 PM ETSYDNEY, N.S. — Canada's Rachel Homan continued to roll at the women's world curling championship with a 9-4 win Monday over Norway's Marianne Roervik.
Norway shook hands when Homan hit for three points in the eighth end Monday. Canada took control early by scoring two points with last-rock advantage in the first end. Norway hit and stayed on an attempted peel to blank the second and trailed 2-1. But Canada tightened its grip in the sixth end with Homan's triple takeout to lie three with her first stone. Skaslien's shooter rolling wide left the Canadian skip a draw for a 6-3 lead.
The COVID-19 pandemic wiped out the 2020 women's world championship after Tirinzoni was victorious in 2019. Tirinzoni went to work on a run of titles in 2021, 2022 and 2023. The top six teams in the 13-country championship advance to the playoff round. Ties for the playoffs will be solved by head-to-head results.
