Men’s curling world championship to finish Sunday after coronavirus pause

The world men’s curling championship will resume Sunday after a one-day pause due to positive coronavirus tests within the Calgary bubble.

The first game pits the U.S. against Switzerland at 1 p.m. ET for a place in the semifinals against Russia. The game was originally scheduled for Saturday at 11 a.m. ET.

Later, two semifinal games start at 6 p.m., then both medal games simultaneously at 11 p.m.

The U.S. rink that includes three members of the 2018 Olympic champion team (John Shuster, Matt Hamilton and John Landsteiner) qualified a 2022 Olympic quota spot for the country by reaching the six-team playoffs.
