GANGNEUNG, South Korea—Defending gold medalists Canada were in danger of crashing out of the Olympic women’s curling tournament after a shock 9-8 extra-end loss to Denmark on Friday left them without a win through three rounds.
Holding the hammer the Canadian world champions had looked poised to secure a victory only to watch skip Rachel Homan’s last rock wreck on a guard in the 11th end as Madeleine Dupont’s Danish foursome looked on stunned by their good fortune picking up a first win.
