World Mixed Doubles
 Curling Championship 2010
Apr 16 - Apr 24 2010
Chelyabinsk, Russia

Sean and Bridget Becker have progressed to the final of the mixed doubles at the world curling championships in Chelyabinsk, Russia, after beating Spain 10-3 in the semifinals today (NZtime).

The siblings, from the Ranfurly Curling Club in central Otago, yesterday became the first New Zealanders to qualify for post-section play at a world championship and broke more new ground with a 10-4 win over Italy in this morning's quarterfinals.

Their opponent in the final will be hosts Russia who beat China 16-4 in the other semifinal.

-----------

For Canada’s mixed doubles curling reps, it’s not how they envisioned their trip overseas.

It started out OK for 2004 Brier champion Mark Dacey and his wife Heather Smith-Dacey, skip of the 1991 Canadian junior women’s champions.

After enjoying a couple days vacation in London, they were set to fly to Russia for the World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship last Thursday.

But that’s when their plans were thrown off course by an erupting volcano in Iceland, the upshot being the Daceys couldn’t find a way to Chelyabinsk, Russia, and had to withdraw from the championship that started last Sunday.

update:

Canada has a shot at two gold medals at the world senior curling championships in Russia.

Colleen Pinkney of Truro, N.S., advanced to the final with an 8-2 win over Sweden today.

Ottawa skip Bruce Delaney had a tougher road to the final, needing a single in the eighth to edge Australia 3-2.

The Canadian men will face the Americans in Saturday's final.

The Canadian women will meet Switzerland.

Both Canadian rinks have yet to lose at the tournament.

Pinkney's Truro rink

But Canada had to settle for the split as Ottawa's Bruce Delaney dropped a 4-3 decision to the United States in the men's final.

The Americans captured the gold medal with steals of one in each of the final two ends to hand the Canadians their only loss of the event.

The Americans handed Canada its only loss of the tournament and claimed just their second world senior men's title. The first came in 2002.
