Curling fans have been very critical of Rachel Homan over the years — especially at the 2018 and 2022 Olympics. That she has got better and not bitter and is showing her talent is a really beautiful thing. Well done, Rachel.
There’s a reason @TeamHoman has only lost five games all season. And have won 21 straight games. Because of shots like that last one by Homan. Hot damn that was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow Rachel Homan! 🇨🇦 She needed to hit the double run in the perfect spot, and she does it for two! 🤩 Watch live on the Curling Channel: https://t.co/u1IYfEBOkx #WWCC #curling https://t.co/PZt2AaTc1G
Anything you can I can do better. Pätz locked one on the button. Homan said not so fast. Brilliant curling.
We’re going to see some granite action in the 2nd end. Canada has hammer against a Swiss team that hasn’t lost at Worlds in years. Seriously. They’ve won 42 consecutive games at worlds 🤯
Blanked first. Quickly to the second end. Canada has the hammer.

She's played 65% today. But when it mattered most, Tracy Fleury just threw perfect stones in the 10th end. Outstanding. Canada sitting four without hammer up 7-6.
Over the course of these long curling events, there's bound to be an off-game for each player. It hasn't been Tracy Fleury's best game this morning. But Homan has a chance to save the day in the 9th end tied with hammer.
Homan TRIPLE Gets rid of three of the five Italian rocks she was looking at with her first. So good. That's why they've won 20-straight games.
Rachel Homan's mastery of ice-reading is quite something. She knew that rock would dive at the end as soon as she let it go. Got on the sweepers. Makes a perfect draw because of it. Brilliant curling.
Now in the 4th end. Third coffee. Red curling stone coffee mug. Score tied 2-2. Italy has the hammer. https://t.co/wQ41ejvaDW
Canada has two, two game days coming up and it starts right now. Vs Italy this morning, vs Switzerland tonight, vs Japan tomorrow morning, vs Turkey tomorrow night. Win them all and @TeamHoman would be alone in first place with just three games left in the round robin.
Homan wins fourth straight in women’s world curling, 9-4 over Norway https://t.co/Duw5Y4eRA4 https://t.co/HZqurIHP2a
Walker, Muyres move to 3-0 at Canadian mixed doubles curling championship https://t.co/uXJKt3GbQ2 https://t.co/LCOd7ATxpr
Wearing the 🍁 at international curling events always brings pressure, responsibility and expectations. @TeamHoman knows that all too well. And right now this Canadian team is putting on a curling clinic at Worlds.
And now a Norway blank attempt sticks around for a single. Don't want to be making that mistake against Canada with the way they're scoring deuces. It's 2-1 Homan leading heading to the 3rd end.
Rachel Homan Making doubles for fun Absolutely lethal.
Switzerland has now won 40 consecutive games at the women’s world curling championships. But they were pushed this morning — defeating Turkey 8-7. Team Tirinzoni, Alina Pätz, absolutely unstoppable. Play Canada Tuesday night.
