In a challenging performance, the Canadian mixed doubles curling team, consisting of Brett Gallant and Jocelyn Peterman, suffered a disappointing 7-6 defeat against Sweden at the Cortina Curling Olympic Stadium. This loss marks their fourth consecutive defeat, bringing their record to 3-4 in the round-robin stage of the competition. Sweden's Rasmus and Isabella Wrana scored three vital points in the seventh end to secure their victory, while limiting Canada to just one point in the final end.

As it stands, Gallant and Peterman still maintain a slim opportunity to reach the semifinals, but their path forward is precarious. They must win their remaining two matches, with a crucial game against South Korea scheduled for later in the day, followed by a final round-robin clash against Switzerland. Additionally, they will need favorable outcomes in other matches to keep their hopes alive for a spot in the playoff bracket.

The upcoming matches are pivotal for the Canadian duo as they strive to turn around their fortunes in this competitive field. The semifinals are set for Monday night, leading into the medal games on Tuesday, putting pressure on Gallant and Peterman to perform at their best if they wish to continue their pursuit of Olympic glory at this event.
