SWIFT CURRENT, Sask. — It might not have been the colour Jennifer Jones was looking for, but it was a world championship medal.

Team Canada’s Jones rebounded from consecutive playoff losses to edge Sweden 9-6 in the bronze medal game of the Ford Worlds Women’s Curling championship Sunday.

The defining end was the sixth, when Jones executed a raise-takeout to score four, taking a commanding 7-2 lead over 22-year-old Swedish skip Cecilia Ostlund. Although Ostlund replied with three in the seventh, and another steal in the eighth, the Swedes were in too deep against Jones, who scored a deuce in the ninth to seal the victory.

Jones had finished atop the round-robin standings (10-1) before losing consecutive playoff games to Germany’s Andrea Schopp, then Scotland’s Eve Muirhead.

Scotland and Germany will met in Sunday afternoon’s final to determine the gold medal winner.
