Team Canada, who is unbeaten, is the first to secure a playoff spot in the World Women’s Curling Championship.
Team Canada has advanced to the playoffs of the World Women’s Curling Championship in Sydney, Nova Scotia, after two complete days of round robin play.
When you win your first eight games, that’s what occurs.
With a come-from-behind victory on Wednesday night, Canada—represented by skip Rachel Homan, vice-skip Tracy Fleury, second Emma Miskew, lead Sarah Wilkes, and alternate Rachel Brown—kept up its winning streak. They won 9–5 over Türkiye after scoring five in the tenth end.
Homan faced a tough Turkish team that had only won twice, and with a 5-4 lead going into the last two throws, she had no margin for error. She praised her sweepers wholeheartedly for their ability to produce the necessary back-to-back runbacks.
After two significant victories on Tuesday, Canada had defeated Japan 7-2 earlier in the day to maintain their perfect record. Homan and company had to play the other two unbeaten teams in the tournament. Canada had a perfect record and was by itself at the top of the standings by Tuesday night.
The first result was an 8–7 victory in the morning draw over Italy. But with the evening draw with Switzerland, there were a lot more stories in the press. The Swiss have amassed a record 42 straight victories and won the last four world titles under the direction of skip Silvana Tirinzoni and last-rock thrower Alina Paetz. Team Homan emerged victorious, 8–5, ending that run.

On Saturday, the Canadians had defeated Sweden 7-6 to start the home worlds, and then they had defeated Denmark 7-4. They faced the United States in just one game on Sunday, which they won 10–6. They only played one game on Monday, winning 9–4 against Norway.
The next objective is to be among the top two teams at the end of the preliminary round in order to guarantee a direct trip to the semifinals.
With four games remaining, Canada will play New Zealand (1-7) and Estonia (1-7) on Thursday and Scotland (3-6) and Korea (6-2) on Friday.
On Saturday, the semifinals will begin at 4:00 p.m. ET. To determine who progresses to the semifinals, the teams that finished third through sixth in the round robin will play playoff qualification games earlier in the day.
On Sunday, the gold medal game is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. ET, while the bronze medal game is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. ET.
Team Homan has also earned themselves a seat in the four-player Canadian Curling Trials, which will take place in November 2025 and decide who will represent Team Canada in Milano Cortina 2026, with a top-six finish.
