Canada wins men’s and women’s curling junior world championships
ABERDEEN, United Kingdom — Canada’s Tyler Tardi beat Scotland’s Ross Whyte 6-5 on Saturday for the men’s world junior curling championships after Kaitlyn Jones won the women’s title for Canada earlier in the day.
This victory was the 19th time Canada men have taken gold at these championships and this is the first time since 2015 that Canadian men and women have achieved the golden double.
“It’s an unbelievable feeling. I don’t even know how long I’ve been dreaming about this moment, and to have it finally come true is just unbelievable,” said Tardi. “I can’t believe I’m standing here right now.”
In the same session, Switzerland beat United States by 7-4 to win the bronze medals.
