Canada eliminated from mixed doubles curling worlds in stunning loss to Estonia
Canada's Kadriana and Colton Lott were ousted from the world mixed doubles curling championship after suffering a 6-5 loss to Estonia in a playoff qualification game on Friday.
The husband-and-wife team from Gimli, Man., led 5-4 after six ends but Estonia tied the score in the seventh and then sealed the victory with a steal of one in the eighth and final end after Kadriana Lott came up just short on her draw that needed to cover the pin for the victory.
"We gave it everything we had," said Colton Lott. "It's disappointing, for sure. But we're going to take this and learn from it and look for ways to be even better next season."
It marked just the second loss of the tournament for the Canadian team, which finished 8-1 in the preliminary round.
