Another day, another split for Canada's Kerri Einarson at the women's world curling championship as the host country emerged from opening weekend with a 2-2 record.
Einarson and teammates were on their game in an 8-4 doubling of Turkey, but less precise in a subsequent 11-3 loss to defending champion Switzerland on Sunday.
Scotland withdrew from the 13-country field Sunday because two more players tested positive for the virus in addition to skip Rebecca Morrison and alternate Fay Henderson, who were infected before the tournament started. Scotland's remaining opposition -- Canada was scheduled to play them Wednesday afternoon -- win those games by forfeit. Teams will do their pre-game, button draw because it is a tiebreaker factor, before a 30-minute practice in the time slots vacated by Scotland.
Einarson's Gimli Curling Club team was 1-3 after the first two days of last year's world championship in Calgary. "It's almost like we need to come back out after the Olympics just to kind of get on the winning road again," the Swiss skip said
