Team Rachel Homan, representing Canada, has successfully secured a place in the semifinals of the Olympic curling event by defeating Team Gim Eun-ji from South Korea with a score of 10-7. This victory is particularly significant as it comes after a tough beginning in the tournament, where the Canadian team faced a losing streak that previously led many to doubt their chances of advancing. With this recent win, they now have not one but two opportunities to compete for an Olympic medal.

The path to the semifinals was not an easy one, as Team Homan entered the last day of the round robin in a three-way tie for third place with the U.S. and South Korea. Both teams needed a win to progress, making the match highly competitive. Following their win over South Korea, Team Homan is set to face Team Sweden, who finished first in the round robin, in the semifinals. Earlier in the tournament, Homan's team had a significant victory over Team Sweden with a narrow 7-6 win, showcasing their potential and resilience in the competition.

Should Team Homan secure a victory in the semifinals, they will compete for gold on Saturday against the winner of the match between Switzerland and the United States. This progression underscores the determination and skill of the Canadian team as they aim for Olympic glory in Milano-Cortina, elevating the anticipation for the upcoming matches among curling fans and the Canadian supporters alike.
