Canada's Rachel Homan lost 7-6 to Great Britain's Sophie Jackson at the Winter Olympics, marking her second consecutive round-robin defeat.

In a tense match at the Winter Olympics held in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Canada's Rachel Homan faced a narrow defeat against Great Britain's Sophie Jackson, finishing with a score of 7-6. This loss is significant as it marks Homan's second consecutive defeat in the round-robin stage of the competition, raising concerns about her team’s performance in the tournament. Key moments in the game included a critical three-point end for Great Britain in the third, and Homan's missed opportunities that allowed Jackson’s team to capitalize.

During the match, Homan's team gave up valuable points at crucial moments, such as a fourth end where Great Britain stole a point when Homan's final rock missed the house completely. These missed shots, along with Homan's double-raise attempt falling short in the fifth, illustrated the pressure of the Olympic stage and the stakes of the competition. Despite being the top-ranked team, Homan’s current record now stands at 1-2, indicating a challenging road ahead in the Olympics.
