The Latvian wheelchair curling team faced a tough match against Canada in the Milan and Cortina Paralympic Games, marking their third defeat in the tournament. The mixed team, which consists of Elija Asniņa, Linda Meijere, Adelaida Killiana, Ojārs Briedis, and Sergejs Djačenko, was unable to secure a win, with their performance resulting in a significant 1-11 loss to the Canadian team. This match ended after the sixth end, where Latvia managed to score one point in what had otherwise been a challenging game.

In their tournament performance thus far, Latvia opened with a loss to South Korea (2-10), followed by a victory against Slovakia (9-0), before facing Sweden and end up with another loss (2-10). With this most recent defeat, the team has struggled to find solid footing in the competition, as they face difficult opponents in upcoming matches. Tonight, they will compete against the USA, with additional games scheduled against China, Norway, Great Britain, and Italy, knowing that only four teams from the ten participating in the tournament will advance to the semifinals.

As the competition continues, other members of the Latvian team are also preparing for their events, including Polīna Rožkova and Agris Lasmans, who are set to face Japan in the mixed doubles competition, also vying for a chance to proceed to the next round. As the Paralympic Games progress in Milan and Cortina, the pressure mounts for the Latvian athletes to perform and secure their places in the semifinals in a highly competitive environment.
