Canada's Homan Team Beats U.S. 10-7 to Claim Olympic Bronze in Women's Curling

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.
