Perfect Canada beat Sweden for women’s Olympic curling gold

-

Canada won their first Olympic women's curling gold since 1998 on Thursday when they defeated Sweden 6-3 in the final.

Skipped by Jennifer Jones, who took to the rink appropriately wearing golden eye shadow, Canada ended Sweden's hopes of a third successive Olympic title.

Canada also matched the achievement of compatriot Kevin Martin's men's team, who won the title in 2010 by going through the tournament undefeated.

Earlier, Britain defeated Switzerland 6-5 to take the bronze medal.
