Canada hasn't won a World Women's Curling Championship since 2018. Kerri Einarson and her team are looking to change that.
Thirteen of the best women's curling teams worldwide are meeting in Sweden for a week-long competition. In the end, the 2023 world champion will be crowned.
Silvana Tirinzoni and her team from Switzerland have dominated the event in recent history. The Swiss team has won gold at the last three tournaments, and the crew is back again in 2023. Switzerland is looking to become the first country to four-peat at the event since Canada won four in a row from 1983-87.
The last gold medal for Canada was won by Jennifer Jones five years ago. Einarson made it to last year's semifinals, but lost and had to settle for a bronze medal.
