CALGARY Canada s Kerri Einarson faces a herculean climb to the playoffs at the women s world curling championship.
The host country halted a four-game losing skid with an 8-4 win Monday over South Korea.
At 2-5, Einarson was still dangerously close to finishing outside Friday s top six teams that will advance to the qualification round in Calgary.
Curling fans wanting to watch the Canadians attempt the feat on television or live streaming remained in limbo.
CALGARY Ratings for the Canadian men s curling final tumbled significantly compared to the championship game in the 2020 season. Brendan Bottcher defeated Wild Card Two s Kevin Koe on Sunday night at Calgary s Markin MacPhail Centre for his first career Tim Hortons Brier title. The final drew an average audience of 728,000 viewers, down 33 per cent from the 1.09 million who watched the year before, according to Numeris data provided by rightsholder TSN. The drop follows a similar ratings decrease for last month s Canadian women s curling championship, the first of seven major events to be held in the spectator-free Canada Olympic Park venue.
