UIJEONGBU-SI — Rachel Homan’s Canadian curling team has won the women’s world championship with a 7-3 victory over Switzerland’s Silvana Tirinzoni. Homan, Tracy Fleury, Emma Miskew and Sarah Wilkes from the Ottawa Curling Club became the first Canadian team to repeat as women’s world champions since Sandra Schmirler’s team did it in 1993 and 1994.

Rachel Homan matched Canadian curling legend Sandra Schmirler with both a repeat world title and a third overall and will look to end Canada’s Olympic medal drought next year. Homan, 35, skipped Canada to a 7-3 victory over Switzerland in the World Women’s Curling Championship final in South Korea on Sunday.
