Winter Olympics 2026: GB women spring shock to beat world champions Canada

Advertisements

Both their previous matches got away from the British rink after the interval, but they maintained their momentum here.

Points were traded in the sixth and seventh ends before Morrison – growing in stature by the minute – delivered another two to move her side four clear going into the penultimate end.

Canada looked devoid of ideas. Homan, for whom Olympic gold has proved elusive throughout a stellar career, was floundering. One in the ninth left them needing a miracle but GB were not of a mind to let this one go.

The women will look to continue their unlikely revival on Sunday against another fancied rink, Sweden (13:05 GMT).

They have six more round-robin matches to play, with a total of five or six wins potentially enough to clinch a semi-final place.

And GB’s men are next on the ice, playing their fourth match of nine against Czech Republic at 13:05 GMT on Saturday.
