Canadian mixed doubles team stays unbeaten at worlds after win over Sweden
STAVANGER, Norway — Canada’s Jocelyn Peterman and Brett Gallant improved to 5-0 at the world mixed doubles curling championship with a 7-6 win over Sweden on Tuesday.
Winnipeg’s Peterman and Gallant, of St. John’s, N.L., scored one in the eighth and final end to edge Sweden’s Anna Hasselborg and Oskar Eriksson in a battle of unbeaten teams.
Hasselborg was light on a draw on its final stone, meaning Canada didn’t have to throw its last shot.
“That’s a tough team. Really happy with the win,” Gallant said. “It’s fun to play those games because it’s just a battle the whole time and you really have to pay attention to every shot and treat every shot with a lot of respect because if you leave the angles set up for Oskar or Anna, they make a lot of rocks go away in a hurry.”
