China’s men’s curling team clinched fourth place at the World Men’s Curling Championship in Moose Jaw, Canada—matching their best-ever performance at the tournament 🌍. But it wasn’t an easy ride, as Canada dominated the bronze medal match with an 11-2 victory on Sunday.
The game started rough for China’s Xu Xiaoming, whose missed shot in the first end gave Canada an early 3-point lead. Though they scored once in the third end, a critical error in the fourth left Canada’s skip Brad Jacobs to swoop in with a 5-point steal, pushing the score to 10-1 by the fifth. 🥌💥
Despite the loss, China’s fourth-place finish equals their 2008 achievement. Now, the team must focus on December’s Olympic qualifiers for a shot at the 2026 Winter Games in Italy. 🏅✨
