Peterman returns to the ice at world championship in Geneva

Apr 22, 2022 | 4:08 PM

Jocelyn Peterman, Red Deer’s own, is back on curling’s world stage this weekend.

Peterman, who recently competed on the women’s side at the Winter Olympics, will join Brett Gallant at the world championship for the first time since 2019, in Geneva, Switzerland.

The World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship begins Saturday, with the pair looking to upgrade their 2019 silver to 2022 gold.

According to Curling Canada:

Twenty teams will compete in two pools of 10 and play a nine-game round-robin schedule. The top three teams from each pool advance to the playoffs, with the first ranked team in each group receiving a bye to the semifinals. The second- and third-ranked teams crossover for qualification games where the winners advance to the semifinals. The winners of those games go to the gold-medal game, and the losing teams compete in the bronze-medal game.
