Canada's Rachel Homan scored three points in the 10th end for a 9-7 semifinal victory over South Korea's Eunji Gim on Saturday at the world women's curling championship.
Mar 23, 2024 at 01:18 PM ETSYDNEY, N.S. — Rachel Homan's season has been noteworthy for win streaks, dominant play and a surge to the top position in world rankings.
"We've had good success against them this year," said Canada coach Don Bartlett."But this is the game we've been waiting for." Both teams had to outlast tough opponents to book their tickets to the final. South Korea shot a solid 82 per cent as a team but Gim and third Minji Kim struggled with draws. "She was outstanding all week," said South Korea coach Guy Hemmings."We just had to hold her one more end. We held her for nine ends but in the last end she got us."
Gim picked up her semifinal spot with a 6-3 victory over Sweden's Anna Hasselborg in a morning qualification game.
