Canada take gold in women's curling event

Canada defeat Sweden 6-3 in the women's curling final to take gold at the Winter Olympics.

Canada have taken gold in the women's curling event, beating Sweden 6-3 in the final.

Canada were forced to prevent their opponents from taking three points in the opening end, surrendering the hammer with just one stone of their own, before Sweden levelled the contest in the second.

The unbeaten Canadians managed to create some breathing space in the next end, as skip Jennifer Jones scored a two to make it 3-1 to the favourites.

Sweden brought the scores level once more ahead of the mid-session interval, though an error by Maria Prytz in the ninth allowed the Canadians to add two more, after adding further to their scoring with a solo stone in the eighth end.

The final end was all about being professional for Jones and her side, and by keeping the house clear from any Sweden stones, she ensured that Canada became the first ladies' side to ever go through the Games unbeaten.
