WATCH | That Curling Show — Mixed doubles curling has never been healthier in Canada:
Brunton and Jacobs picked up a 7-4 win over fellow Canadians Laura Walker and Kirk Muyres of Edmonton in the morning draw before adding an 8-6 win over Jenn Dodds and Bruce Mouat of Great Britain in the afternoon.
Walker and Muyres secured a spot in Sunday’s playoff bracket as a C-side qualifier, along with Dodds and Mouat.
The Edmonton duo bounced back from their morning loss with an 8-6 win over Saskatoon’s Nancy Martin and Tyrel Griffith, the world’s No. 3 pairing. They closed out the day with an 8-7 win over Jones and Laing in the evening draw, eliminating their compatriots in the process.
Walker and Muyres have both stepped away from the four-person game to focus solely on mixed doubles.
Jenny Perret and Martin Rios of Switzerland previously booked a spot in the semifinals on Friday along with Marie Kaldvee and Harri Lill of Estonia as the A-side qualifiers.
That Curling Show will be live every day of the competition, with coverage concluding Sunday evening.
