Women’s curling world championship rescheduled

The world women’s curling championship, canceled last month, has been rescheduled for April 30 to May 9 in Calgary.

The tournament was originally set for Switzerland from March 19-28 before being canceled due to coronavirus pandemic complications.

Now, it will be held in the same city as the men’s world championship, which is earlier in April.

The world championship for mixed doubles, which made its Olympic debut in 2018, was pushed back from late April to May 16-23 with a host to be announced.

Last year, all three curling world championships were canceled due to the pandemic.
