CORTINA D’AMPEZZO – The Canadian mixed doubles curling team’s playoff chances took another hit Sunday with a 7-6 loss to Sweden at the Cortina Curling Olympic Stadium.
Brett Gallant and Jocelyn Peterman have dropped four straight games and fell to 3-4 in round-robin play.
Sweden’s Rasmus Wrana and Isabella Wrana (5-3) scored three points in the seventh end and held Canada to a single in the eighth for the win.
The Canadians still have a slim chance of making the four-team cut for the semifinals. They’ll need to win their two remaining games and hope other results fall in their favour.
