Cortina d’Ampezzo (Italy) (AFP) – Canada beat the United States 10-7 to take the bronze medal in the Olympic women’s curling competition on Saturday. The Canadian women returned to the Olympic podium having missed out at the past two Winter Games. It was their sixth medal — two gold, one silver, and three bronze — since the women’s event was first introduced to the Olympic programme in 1998 Nagano.
Sweden, who beat Canada in the semi-final, will take on Switzerland, who eliminated the United States, in Sunday’s final. Olympic champions in 2006, 2010, and 2018, the Swedes took bronze four years ago in Beijing.
