The struggles continue for skip Kerri Einarson and her Gimli curling team.

Team Canada posted its third consecutive defeat, falling 7-6 to Tabitha Peterson of the United States, at the world women’s championship Sunday afternoon in Calgary.

Einarson, third Val Sweeting, second Shannon Birchard and lead Briane Meilleur, who won a second straight national Scotties title in late February at WinSport Arena, dropped to 1-4 in the 14-team, round-robin event.

The top six teams make the playoffs next weekend.

The Canadians face Germany (10 a.m.) and South Korea (3 p.m.) on Monday. None of the championship will be broadcast until Wednesday, at the earliest, after a COVID-19 scare earlier Sunday.

Several members of the broadcast team tested positive for the virus and are quarantining. Athletes and championship officials all had negatives tests, said the World Curling Federation.
