Rachel Homan’s Canadian Curling team has won the Women’s World Championship with a 7-3 victory over Silvana Tirinzoni in Switzerland in Uijeongbu, South Korea.
Homan, Tracy Fleury, Emma Miskew and Sarah Wilkes of the Ottawa Curling Club became the first Canadian team to be repeated as champions of the female world since Sandra Schmirler’s team did so in 1993 and 1994.
“My team was throwing it so well, so I know exactly where to put the broom and the girls succeeded so well,” Homan said in a press release on Sunday.
The Canadian team defeated Tirinzoni in the World Championship final a second consecutive year after a 7-5 victory over the Swiss side in Sydney, NS, in 2024.
“We are so happy that we could make Canada proud and bring home to home again. Back-to-back is an incredible feeling,” said Homan.
