Could Canada still get gold in women’s curling?

The Canadian women’s curling team opened round robin play with a 1-3 record, but they’re not counting out a medal just yet.

“Even though there’s several losses on the board, we’re still in it,” Canadian skip Rachel Homan said to reporters Saturday.

Homan’s rink has a proven track record of success as they have won three world championship medals, including gold in 2017. While the team is full of first-time Olympians, Canada still entered PyeongChang as the pre-tournament favorites.

But they didn’t play that way to start the tournament, suffering an upset loss to South Korea and a 7-6 defeat to Sweden.
