Canadian senior curlers win double gold, but mixed team falls just short
STAVANGER, Norway — Canada’s senior curling teams won gold for a second straight year, but a narrow loss in the mixed doubles final prevented a sweep of the week’s competitions at Stavanger’s Sormarka Arena.
The Canadian senior women, led by skip Sherry Anderson of Saskatoon, roared to victory by beating Denmark 10-1 in just six ends.
Canada opened with three points in the first end, added another three in the third, and then posted three straight steals.
“That’s what you’ve played for – to win a medal. So, you just go out and play, and that’s what the girls did, they made some great shots early,” Anderson said. “We played a really good first end — it wasn’t like they played badly, but I had an open shot for three and that’s always nice in the first end.”
