Gimli's Einarson a Step Closer to Women's World Curling Championship Gold

On Saturday, Japan beat Turkey 7-5 in a playoff to advance and face Kerri Einarson's Team Canada in the semifinal.
Switzerland and Canada secured direct semifinal berths via pool play, while playoff matches among Japan, Turkey, Sweden, and South Korea decided the remaining spots.
On Saturday, Einarson's team recovered from an extra-end loss and beat Australia 11-2, with Val Sweeting shooting 99 per cent at third at Calgary's WinSport Event Centre.
The semifinal outcomes left Canada to play Switzerland for the world title on Sunday after Kerri Einarson's Manitoba team defeated Japan 11-3 and Switzerland beat Sweden 8-5.
Einarson's rink heads into the final seeking their first world crown after bronze medals in 2022 and 2023, following Canada’s Rachel Homan’s back-to-back 2024 and 2025 titles.
