Canada's Dunstone wins fifth straight, creates logjam atop world curling standings

  • On Wednesday morning, Canada's Matt Dunstone, skip of Team Manitoba-Dunstone, defeated Switzerland 8-7 at the world men's curling championship in Ogden, securing a playoff spot. The victory extended the Winnipeg-based team's winning streak to six games.
  • Following losses to Scotland and the U.S. earlier in the tournament, Dunstone's rink rebounded with consistent play. "There was a lot of confidence within the group," Dunstone said, dismissing perceptions his team was vulnerable.
  • Against Switzerland, Dunstone faced a tied game in the final frame after the Swiss skip scored three points in the ninth end. His precise final draw secured the 8-7 victory, which he noted "had eyes" as it broke.
  • Canada, Switzerland, Sweden, and Scotland are tied at 8-2 in the standings. The top six teams advance to the playoffs, with the top two finishers earning a direct bye to the semifinals after round-robin play concludes Thursday.
  • Seeking to avoid back-to-back games on Friday, Dunstone aims to secure a top-two seed before facing Germany and Norway. "That bye would be big, for sure," he said, emphasizing the importance of final round-robin matches.
