Canada’s Gushue defeats Japan’s Yanagisawa at world men’s curling championship

Canada beats Japan 6-3 at men’s curling worlds

After an uneven opening weekend at the world men’s curling championship, Brad Gushue’s Canadian team delivered a vintage performance at an ideal time.

Gushue’s St. John’s, N.L.-based side struggled mightily in an opening loss to Switzerland on Saturday before rebounding with a win over Italy. Another split followed Sunday with a win over New Zealand and loss to Norway. “Two good end-saving shots because we got ourselves into a bit of trouble that end with some of our rock positioning early on,” Gushue said.

Vice Tsuyoshi Yamaguchi is the only player on the team with world men’s championship and Olympic experience. Reigning world and Olympic champion Niklas Edin of Sweden won both of his games Monday to improve to 5-0. Norway’s Magnus Ramsfjell is also unbeaten at 4-0.
