Homan defeats Sweden, improves to 4-3 at Olympics

Canada’s Rachel Homan rink defeated Sweden 8-6 in the Olympic curling round‑robin, extending their win streak to three and improving to 4-3.

In the 10‑team round‑robin at the Milano Cortina Winter Games, Homan’s Canadian team knocked off the last undefeated Swedish rink, led by Anna Hasselborg, 8‑6. A decisive triple‑takeout in the eighth end gave Canada a 6‑5 lead, and a final‑end steal secured the win.

The victory lifts Canada to a 4‑3 record, keeping them in contention for a playoff spot. They will face host Italy on Wednesday at 1:05 p.m. ET, with the top four teams advancing to the semifinals on Friday.
