ESJBERG, Denmark — Canada’s Amber Holland lost twice Sunday, but remains just one game out of first at the Capital One Women’s World Curling Championship.
Russia’s Liudmila Privivkova scored three in the fourth to take a 5-1 lead and cruised to a 9-4 win over Holland in the early draw. Denmark’s Lene Nielsen then rallied from a 3-1 deficit to beat the Canadian champion from Kronau, Sask., 8-5 in the evening.
The losses drop Holland to 1-2, but with previously unbeaten Norway and Germany both losing Sunday there is a seven-way tie for the lead at 2-1. Norway and Germany are joined at the top with China, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland and the Czech Republic.
Holland and the Canadians are a in a group at 1-2 alongside Denmark, Scotland and the United States. Korea is winless at 0-3.
Privivkova blanked the first end with hammer against Holland and then scored her deuce in the second. Holland responded with one in the third, but the three-spot in the fourth proved to be decisive as the Russians handed Canada its first loss of the bonspiel.
The Canadian skip, who curled 72 per cent in the loss, was unable to orchestrate a multiple-point end all game. Holland did steal a single in the eighth to make the score 7-4, but it was too late.
Holland got off to a good start against Nielsen, blanking the first and scoring a pair with hammer in the second. The teams traded singles before Denmark took control with one in the fifth and back-to-back stolen deuces in the sixth and seventh ends. Holland plays Scotland’s Anna Sloan and Patti Link of the U.S. on Monday.
