Amber Holland and Team Canada had to settle for silver this morning, losing the gold medal game to Sweden at the World Women's Curling Championships in Denmark.

Holland ended up light on a draw against four on her final stone in the 10th end, to give Anette Norberg the steal of two and a 7-5 title win.

It's a heartbreaking end to an otherwise great season for the team from Kronau, who will make another run at the World Championship when they represent Canada at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts next year in Red Deer.

 

The curling world now turns to Regina, as the Ford World Men's Curling Championships start Saturday at the Brandt Centre. Three-time Canadian Champion Jeff Stoughton from Manitoba will play for Team Canada in that tournament.
