Canada ousted at mixed doubles curling worlds, but Olympic spot still in sight
- Canada was eliminated from medal contention after losing 7-5 to Estonia in the mixed doubles curling playoff qualifier on Friday in Fredericton.
- The team of Peterman and Gallant, hailing from Alberta's Chestermere, fell behind after allowing three points in the fourth end and were unable to make a comeback.
- Canada secured a playoff position by finishing third in Group A and, following a fifth-place finish at the 2024 World Championships, is set to face the United States on Friday to contest fifth place.
- Canada’s combined top-six finish here and fifth place last year earned an Olympic berth in the 10-team 2026 Milan-Cortina field, with two final spots decided in December’s Kelowna qualifier.
- The loss ended Canada’s medal hopes but keeps Olympic qualification secure while emphasizing the importance of the upcoming placement and qualifying events.
