Canada Advances to Women's World Championship Final After Defeating Japan
Kerri Einarson and her team will play for their first gold medal at the world championships after defeating Japan 11-3 in the semi-final. The game took place at the WinSport Event Centre in Calgary, before a sold-out crowd of 3,004.
Kerri Einarson is making her world championship debut at the same venue as the 2021 tournament. In 2021, no fans were allowed to attend due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Einarson's week in 2021 did not go as planned, as she was eliminated in the qualification game. Now, five years later, Einarson and teammates Val Sweeting, Shannon Birchard, and Karlee Burgess will compete for a gold medal. Einarson said she has goosebumps and that it is a special moment for her team, who have been through so much.
