CORTINA D’AMPEZZO – Canada’s Rachel Homan ended a three-game losing skid on Monday morning with a 10-5 victory over China’s Rui Wang at the Winter Olympics.
Homan and her Ottawa-based women’s curling team of Tracy Fleury, Emma Miskew and Sarah Wilkes scored four points in the fourth end and tacked on three more in the sixth.
“It was a good flow, good vibes and all-around execution,” said Canadian coach Heather Nedohin. “So good morning, Canada.”

Medal games are scheduled for the weekend.
American Tabitha Peterson was alone in second place at 4-1. Switzerland and South Korea’s Eunji Gim were next at 3-2 while Denmark fell to 3-3.
It was the first draw in women’s play since World Curling reversed course on its umpire setup. Homan had a rock pulled in a loss to Switzerland on Saturday when an umpire monitoring the hog line called her for double-touching the stone.
The sport’s governing body said Sunday night that umpires would return to their regular setup of monitoring the delivery area only when requested by the opposing team.
