Canada’s Kerri Einarson claimed the bronze medal at the women’s world curling championship on Sunday with an 8-7, extra-end win over Sweden’s Anna Hasselborg in Prince George, B.C.

Switzerland’s Silvana Tirinzoni and South Korea EunJung Kim were scheduled to play for gold later in the day.

Einarson dropped a 9-6 decision to Kim in Saturday’s semifinal.

The Canadians rebounded to beat one of the world’s best teams and step on the medal podium.

Hasselborg, ranked third in the world, won Olympic gold in 2018 and earned bronze last month in Beijing.

And that’s how you bag a bronze medal in front of your home crowd. ????????????<br><br>No nerves from Kerri Einarson as she executes the hit for a crucial point that wins Canada the game. ????<br><br>Watch the game live on the Curling Channel at <a href=”https://t.co/fy3vfdBx89″>https://t.co/fy3vfdBx89</a><a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/curling?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>#curling</a> | <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/WWCC2022?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>#WWCC2022</a> <a href=”https://t.co/VeY8Wab66X”>pic.twitter.com/VeY8Wab66X</a>
