Unbeaten Canada dumps Australia 13-1 at world mixed doubles curling championship

KARLSTAD, Sweden – Canada closed out round-robin play at the world mixed doubles curling championship on Thursday by dumping Australia 13-1 at the Lofbergs Lila Arena.

The Saskatoon duo of Dustin Kalthoff and Marliese Kasner opened with a deuce and closed out the game with a five-point seventh end. Canada won all six round-robin games to lock up first place in Group D at the 42-team event.

Tiebreaker and qualification games were scheduled for later Thursday. The 16-team single-knockout playoff round begins Friday.

The combined results of the 2016 and 2017 world mixed doubles events will decide the seven teams that will join host South Korea at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games.
