Overview
- Canada defeated Tabitha Peterson’s United States in a tense bronze-medal match in Cortina d’Ampezzo.
- Three-point ends in the sixth and eighth proved decisive for the Canadians.
- The victory followed a 6-3 semifinal loss to Anna Hasselborg’s Sweden that left the team “heartbroken,” according to coach Heather Nedohin.
- The back-to-back world champions — Rachel Homan, Tracy Fleury, Emma Miskew and Sarah Wilkes — entered as the No. 1-ranked team and rebounded from an early three-game skid.
- The bronze delivers Rachel Homan’s long-sought Olympic medal and marks Canada’s first women’s curling podium since 2014.
