The Canadian duo of Kadriana and Colton Lott of Winnipeg Beach, Manitoba have won the 2024 Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Championships. On Friday in the championship final from the Aitken University Centre and the Capital Winter Club in Fredericton, New Brunswick, the husband and wife duo defeated Laura Walker of Edmonton, Alberta and Kirk Muyres of St. Gregor, Saskatchewan 7-5.
In the final, the Lotts fell behind 3-0 early before tying the game at three in the third end. Then with Walker and Muyres leading 5-4 after six ends, the Lotts picked up a deuce to take a 6-5 lead after seven ends, and then stole a point in the eighth end.
Throughout the tournament, the Lotts, who were representing Manitoba as the provincial champion, went undefeated. They went through Pool D with a perfect record of seven wins and zero losses. By winning Pool D, the Lotts got a bye to the quarterfinals with an 11-3 win over Saskatchewan’s Nancy Martin and Steve Laycock, and then beat the Alberta duo of Jocelyn Peterman and Brett Gallant of Calgary, 8-4.
With the win, the Lotts will represent Canada at the 2024 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championships in Ostersund, Sweden from April 20-27. That event will take place after the World Men’s Curling Championships in Schaffhausen, Switzerland.
