ShaziaSports News

Scotland – Fist bumps and words of encouragement echoed between the athletes of Team Canada throughout their two games on Sunday at the 2025 World Wheelchair Curling Championship in Scotland to keep team morale high.

Despite the contrasting results of each game, the Canadians’ poise and positivity remained consistent. Team Canada began the day with a 7-4 loss to Team Norway and ended it with an 8-2 win against Team Japan.

Sunday afternoon’s game marked the first time Norway and Canada met since the gold-medal match at the 2024 World Wheelchair Curling Championship in South Korea, where the Norwegians similarly outscored the Canadians.

“That’s just how curling goes sometimes,” said Jon Thurston, Canada’s fourth-rock thrower. “Norway played really well. I thought we also played great; we just had our moments where we couldn’t capitalize on some opportunities, and they kept up the pressure.”
