LOOK LIVE | Canada aims to end China's dominance in wheelchair curling

Canada is set to compete against China in the final of the mixed wheelchair curling tournament at the Milan-Cortina Paralympics.

In the final match of the mixed wheelchair curling tournament at the Milan-Cortina Paralympics, Canada will face off against China, aiming to break China's winning streak. The event will be broadcast live by ETV2 and ERR's sports portal at 16:00, featuring commentary by Karl Kukner and Signe Falkenberg. This exciting matchup follows closely contested semifinals, where Canada overcame South Korea with a thrilling comeback victory, while China secured their place in the final after a tight draw against Sweden.

Four years ago at the Beijing Paralympics, China triumphed over Sweden to win gold, leaving Canada with a bronze medal in a disappointing finish. This year, the Chinese team, which has seen one change from their previous lineup, is determined to maintain their winning legacy, having also won gold at the 2018 Paralympics. As the competition heats up, all eyes will be on whether Canada can dethrone China, setting the stage for a potentially historic match.

The success of the wheelchair curling tournament has already been evident with the distribution of medal sets in other categories; Wang Meng and Yang Jinqiao claimed victory in the inaugural mixed pairs event. This growing interest and success in adaptive sports highlight the ongoing advancements and recognition that these athletes deserve on a global scale, increasing the anticipation for the final showdown between Canada and China.
