CP Switzerland Wins World Women's Curling Title

On Sunday, Xenia Schwaller's Swiss team defeated Kerri Einarson 7-5 in Calgary to win the world women's curling title, with Einarson's team taking silver.
Averaging 22.5 years, Schwaller's team beat four-time world champion Silvana Tirinzoni twice in a best-of-three to earn the Swiss berth in Calgary.
Starting with hammer, the Swiss blanked the first then scored two early, and Schwaller's runback double in the 10th end made Einarson's steal unlikely.
As a result, Kerri Einarson's rink can return to the 2027 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Charlottetown as Team Canada, while lead Karlee Burgess topped all leads at 93.6 per cent accuracy and was named to the all-star team.
The men's world championship opens Friday in Ogden, Utah, with Matt Dunstone wearing the Maple Leaf after his Brier win; Canada faces South Korea as Einarson and Schwaller rank fifth and sixth.
