Canada wins one, loses one at wheelchair curling world championships

STEVENSTON, Scotland (Curling Canada) – Monday afternoon at the 2025 World Wheelchair Championship closely resembled Sunday evening for Team Canada as it outshot Team Latvia 9-2 after falling to Team South Korea 6-4 a few hours earlier.

The game between Team Canada and Team South Korea was down to the last rock, but the final result did not reflect the solid shooting by the Canadians through all eight ends.

It was a close game with South Korea holding on to the hammer for six of eight ends. In the seventh end, Team Canada’s precision was on display to steal one and tie the game 4-4. The Canadians followed up with an offence-minded eighth end, but couldn’t pull out the required steal for the victory.

South Korea is known to be one of the fastest-growing, and most successful curling nations in the world, evidenced in their top spot in the standings as of Monday afternoon, despite a loss to Scotland in the afternoon draw — its first setback of the championship.

“South Korea is known to be a top team, and we outshot them,” said Canadian skip Gilbert Dash (Kipling, Sask.). “Our team communicated, and we shot really well. It just didn’t work out. We played well; we just ended up on the wrong side of the inch.”
