Homan defeats Sweden, improves to 4-3 at Olympics

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

In the 10‑team round‑robin at Milano Cortina, Homan’s rink knocked off the last undefeated team, Sweden’s Anna Hasselborg, 8‑6. A decisive triple‑takeout in the eighth end gave Canada a 6‑5 lead, and a final‑end hit for two by Hasselborg was missed, sealing the win.

The victory lifts Homan’s record to 4‑3 and keeps her on track for a playoff spot. She will face host Italy on Wednesday at 1:05 p.m. ET, with the top four teams advancing to the semifinals on Friday.
