Canada remains undefeated at World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship
Jocelyn Peterman and Brett Gallant have started their quest for Olympic qualification in mixed doubles curling with a win.
They are competing as Team Canada this week at the 2025 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship in Fredericton, New Brunswick. At the end of the tournament on May 3, seven countries (in addition to host nation Italy) will earn their mixed doubles spots for the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games, based on combined placements at last year’s and this year’s world championships.
As the winners of the Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Trials in early January, if they lock up the Olympic spot for Canada, Peterman and Gallant would secure their own tickets to Milano Cortina 2026.
We’ll be keeping track of their progress throughout the round robin. The top three teams in each pool will advance to the playoff round.

The Canadian duo overcame an early deficit to stay undefeated after securing an 8-6 win over Sweden at the world mixed doubles curling championship on Sunday.
Canada fell behind 3-0 early after the first end, but scored two in the second to quickly trail Sweden by only one.
