STEVENSTON – Canada split its games Wednesday at the world wheelchair curling championship, leaving it in an uncertain position heading into the final day of round-robin competition.
The Canadian rink skipped by Gil Dash of Wolseley, Sask., beat Slovakia 6-3 in the morning draw on the strength of a steal of two in the sixth end.
However, Canada missed a chance to improve its playoff chances with a 5-4 extra-end loss to Sweden in the late draw.
The results put Canada in a tie for third at 5-4 with Norway, Scotland and Sweden with three draws remaining. The top six teams move on to the playoffs.
China and South Korea led the standings at 7-2 and qualified for the playoffs. England and Italy were at 4-5 with Japan, Latvia, Slovakia and the United States at 3-6.
Canada faces China in Thursday’s afternoon draw before wrapping preliminary-round play against Italy.
