Canada’s 89 per cent shooting accuracy outpaced Italy’s 65 per cent. A costly miscue from the opposition in the first end allowed Canada to jump ahead, as Italy came up light on a draw and Canada got a tap around a guard to score four.

“It gives us all the momentum going forward, right from the get-go,” Colton Lott said. “Especially after that first end, we could really tell that they weren’t quite on their game, and as long as we kept applying pressure, tried to make them make really precise shots, we were going to get mistakes, and for the most part, we capitalized on that and just kept bending all the way through.”

The decisive moment came in the sixth end when Canada used its power play to draw for four and the Italians conceded the final two ends of the contest.

Australia’s Tahli Gill and Dean Hewitt defeated Sweden’s Therese Westman and Robin Ahlberg 8-4 in the gold-medal game.
