Team Canada clobbered China on Wednesday 10-4 at the 2024 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship in Ostersund, Sweden. With the win, the Canadian team of Kadriana and Colton Lott of Winnipeg Beach, Manitoba improved to a record of six wins and one loss.
It was a gritty effort for the Canadians, as they actually trailed 4-2 after four ends. However, in the second half of the game, it was pure Canadian dominance. They pulled within a point in the fifth end with the hammer, and then stole a point in the sixth end to tie the game at four. Then in the seventh end, Canada stole two more points to take a 6-4 lead, and then four more points in the eighth end to close out the scoring and earn the six-point win.
