Canada’s Rachel Homan Tops Denmark in Women’s Curling Opener at Olympics
Canada’s top-ranked women’s curling team opened with a 10-4 win over Denmark, stealing four points in the fifth end to secure an early lead, coach Viktor Kjell said.
- On Thursday, Rachel Homan's rink beat Denmark 10-4 in seven ends at Cortina Curling Olympic Stadium, finishing the match in under two hours.
- As the world's top-ranked women's team, they entered the Games as favourites, having won back-to-back Scotties in 2024 and 2025 and two World titles since 2023-24.
- After a back-and-forth opening, Denmark evened in the second and stole one in the third, but Canada stole four in the fifth and added three in the seventh after Fleury cleared Danish stones.
- Kjell called it a great start, and Canada faces the U.S. on Friday, with the schedule keeping the rink busy.
- The tournament's format leaves little margin for error with nine round-robin games, and the top four advance to semi-finals next week in a deep field featuring Sweden's Anna Hasselborg and Switzerland's Silvana Tirinzoni.
