Canada and Estonia to play for Winter Games gold

30 Aug 2017 – Estonia and defending champions Canada will play for the gold medal at the Audi quattro Winter Games NZ Mixed Doubles curling tournament this afternoon.

They earned their places with hard-fought wins in this morning’s semifinals, both decided on the last stone at Naseby’s Maniototo Curling International rink.

The unbeaten Team Canada lined up against the strong Norway side of Kristin Skaslien and Magnus Nedregotten, who have five consecutive top-ten World Championship results to their name. But once Kalynn Park picked out an opponent’s stone to score 4 in the second end, the Canadians were never behind in the match.
