US EditionCanada Eliminated From Medal Contention in Olympic Mixed Doubles Curling
The Canadian duo finished with a 3-5 record after struggling on unusually straight ice, missing the semifinals at the Milan Cortina Olympics, officials said.
- On Feb. 8, 2026, Canada's mixed-doubles team was eliminated after a fifth straight loss, falling to 3-5 following a 9-5 defeat by South Korea's Kim Seon-yeong and Jeong Yeong-seok.
- The Games' deputy chief ice technician noted the ice was unusually straight, and early errors by Gallant compounded the ice issues, affecting shot-making.
- Peterman and Gallant began the event 3-0 but curled under 50% in critical stretches and missed late shots by millimetres, losing a second game.
- The loss deepens a disappointing start for Canada's Olympic curling program, missing the mixed-doubles podium again after 2022 and dampening wider medal hopes following Brad Gushue's lone bronze.
- Canada plays its final round-robin match on Monday against Switzerland, with Peterman and Gallant planning to share ice insights before Rachel Homan and Brad Jacobs skip Canada’s teams later this week.
