Team Rachel Homan will have to settle for a shot at Olympic bronze.
The Canadian rink lost 6-3 to Team Anna Hasselborg of Sweden in the curling semifinals on Friday at Milano Cortina 2026.
Homan will now play in the bronze-medal game on Saturday against Team Tabitha Peterson of the U.S. (8:05 a.m. ET / 5:05 a.m. PT, CBC Gem, Sportsnet+).
Team Silvana Tirinzoni will face Sweden for gold on Sunday (5:05 a.m ET / 2:05 a.m. PT, CBC Gem, Sportsnet+) after the Swiss rink beat the U.S. 8-5 in the other semifinal.
After winning the past two world titles, Homan’s rink was not at its best all week.
The Canadians won their last five round-robin games to nail down the fourth and final playoff spot, but then never led against Sweden in the semifinal.
