Oct 29, 2023 at 03:41 PM ETKELOWNA, B.C. — Canada's Kerri Einarson opened the Pan Continental Curling Championships on Sunday with a 9-2 rout of Taiwan's Cynthia Lu at the Kelowna Curling Club.The event serves as a world championship qualifier for countries outside Europe.
In other early results, South Korea’s Eunji Gim beat Mexico’s Team Adriana Camarena 10-1, Fujisawa beat New Zealand's Jessica Smith 9-4 and American Tabitha Peterson topped Australia's Jennifer Westhagen 10-4. “I thought their team played really well, and I know for myself, I wasn’t super happy with my performance, so I’m looking to turn that around,” said second Shannon Birchard. “A couple shots here and there, and it’s a different game. I think we can just take what we learned from this game and improve going forward.”
Einarson settled for a third-place finish at the inaugural edition of the Pan Continental championship last year. She'll play winless Australia on Monday. Gushue, vice-skip Mark Nichols, second E.J. Harnden, lead Geoff Walker and coach Caleb Flaxey also started last season’s Pan Continentals with a loss. In 2022, the United States won the opening round-robin victory against the Canadians.
