Curling focus shifts to Olympic trials in Saskatoon
An unusual qualification process for the Tim Hortons Canadian Curling Trials is finally complete. The nine-team fields are set for the deepest domestic competition the sport has to offer.
Since the pandemic upended the regular lead-up to the trials, Curling Canada revised the qualification process earlier this year. An additional qualifying event – the so-called ‘pre-pre-trials’ – was added to the calendar for September. McCarville was a favourite to make the cut while the veteran Harrison, who beat Corryn Brown in the B-final, will be making her trials debut.
“It’s probably the most competitive event I’ve ever played in,” said Moulding, who just missed the playoff cut at the 2017 trials in Ottawa. “There’s probably never more on the line than in the Olympic trials in many ways. I just think that the competitiveness and pressure gets ratcheted up.”
