Canada’s Rachel Homan dropped a 7-6 decision to Great Britain’s Sophie Jackson on Saturday morning at the Milano Cortina Olympic Games.
It was the second straight round-robin loss for Homan and teammates Tracy Fleury, Emma Miskew and Sarah Wilkes.
Canada gave up a three-point end in the third. Homan missed a double-takeout and British fourth Rebecca Morrison made a double-tap.
Great Britain stole a point in the fourth when Homan’s final rock sailed through the house without making contact. Canada settled for a single in the fifth when Homan’s double-raise attempt didn’t have the necessary weight.
Jackson, who’s skip of the Team GB side but throws lead stones, pulled away with a deuce in the eighth. Her team (1-2) entered competition ranked 21st in the world.
The top-ranked Homan (1-2), meanwhile, has a stiff test ahead in the evening session at Cortina Curling Olympic Stadium. She was scheduled to play second-ranked Silvana Tirinzoni of Switzerland.
Great Britain’s Sophie Jackson defeats Rachel Homan and her Ottawa-based rink 7-6 at Milano Cortina 2026. Great Britain improves to 1-2 and Canada falls to 1-2.
