Canada’s Einarson Eyes Gold at 2026 Women’s World Curling Championship
Kerri Einarson and her Canadian team are back in Calgary, ready to chase the world title in women’s curling. The stage is set at the Markin MacPhail Centre, a familiar arena where Einarson has experienced both triumph and setbacks. She’s bringing a team that knows the ice, knows the pressure and knows how to win when it counts.
Einarson, along with Val Sweeting, Shannon Birchard, Karlee Burgess and alternate Krysten Karwacki, kicks off the championship against Sweden. For Canada, the stakes are high. Back-to-back golds by Rachel Homan’s squad have set a standard and Einarson is determined to keep the world crown on home ice.

This isn’t just another tournament. The team comes off a strong national campaign, having secured their fifth Scotties Tournament of Hearts title earlier this year with a clutch play that’s already etched into curling history. That victory gave them momentum and a rare month-long break before the world championship, giving them time to fine-tune strategy and chemistry. Einarson’s squad has practiced intensely, preparing for a tournament that will test every skill and decision.
Calgary holds a special place for the skip and her teammates. Past experiences here range from world bronze medals to challenging bubbles during the pandemic. The team has navigated injuries, substitutions and personal hurdles over the last few seasons, building resilience and cohesion along the way. That mix of experience and adaptability could be the edge they need as they face 12 other nations in this single round-robin format.
The tournament’s format adds a strategic layer. Only the top six teams after the preliminary round move on, with the top two earning direct spots in the semifinals. Every draw counts and every stone could make the difference between a medal run and an early exit. For a country with a history of 19 women’s world championship golds, the pressure to perform is immense but familiar.
Einarson’s focus is clear: position the team well in the round-robin, take each playoff game as it comes and fight for a spot in the gold-medal game. For Canada, curling is more than a sport—it’s national pride, a tradition of excellence and a platform for champions who rise under pressure.
