   Canada's Colton and Kadriana Lott opened the world mixed
   doubles curling championship on a victorious note Saturday in
   Geneva, Switzerland.
   The Canadian squad scored three in the first end en route to a
   6-4 victory over South Korea in the first game of the
   tournament for both teams.
   "Usually, a big event like this, you're nervous to start and
   nervous to see what the ice is going to do and feel like,"
   Kadriana Lott said. "It was good to have a strong start.
   "We do notice there are areas that we're going to work on, but
   now we feel more comfortable knowing what the ice is doing
   going into (Sunday)."
   South Korea scored twice in the fifth to pull to within 5-3.
   But Kadriana Lott responded with a heavy hit to score a single
   and put Canada ahead 6-3.

   "Kadriana's shot in six was a very hard score," Colton Lott
   said. "To even get one point and not give up a steal was hard
   to do.
   "We were not even half an inch from giving up a steal. She hit
   right where we needed to, and that just kept the ball rolling
   and didn't give them the momentum."
   The Lotts are among the most decorated mixed doubles curling
   teams in Canada. The couple from Gimli, Man., has won two gold,
   two silver and a bronze at the Canadian mixed doubles
   championships since 2019.
   Now their sights are set on earning Canada its first world
   mixed doubles championship. The Canadians resume tournament
   action Sunday, facing Finland and the United States.
