Rachel Homan will finally take home an Olympic medal.
Canada scored three in the eighth end to break the game apart and secure its 10-7 bronze-medal victory over the United States’ Team Tabitha Peterson at Milano Cortina 2026.
Team Homan escaped the eighth end with the lead after Peterson’s triple takeout attempt fell short and only moved one. Homan made a perfect draw with her last shot to lock in a three-point edge and give the Canadians an 8-5 lead.
The U.S. battled back in the ninth end to score a deuce and close the gap to one, but Canada, up 7-6, had the hammer for the 10th.
In the last two years, Homan has earned a 198-31 record, two undefeated Scotties titles, back-to-back world championships, six grand slam events, and now an Olympic medal.
This is Canada’s first women’s curling medal since Jennifer Jones won gold in Sochi 2014.
More to come.
