Overview
- Canada beat Italy 11-3 on Saturday in Geneva to claim bronze, following Friday’s 6-4 semifinal loss to Sweden that ended its title bid.
- The sixth-end power play, a setup that moves stones to the wing to open scoring, set up a draw for four and Italy conceded the final two ends.
- Canada outshot Italy 89% to 65% and piled on two four-point ends plus a three-point end after an early Italian draw came up light.
- Australia’s Tahli Gill and Dean Hewitt defeated Sweden 8-4 for gold later Saturday after edging the defending champions 7-6 in an extra-end semifinal.
- The bronze marked Canada’s first mixed doubles world medal since 2019, Kadriana Lott’s first world medal, and Colton Lott’s second international medal this season.
