Hey there, time traveller!

Amber Holland’s approach to elite-level curling does not change, even as the games increase in magnitude.
“It is a long week and we are taking it a game at a time, an end at a time, and a shot at a time — the way we always have,” Holland said via email Monday from Esbjerg, Denmark, where her team is representing Canada at the Capital One world women’s championship. “The rest will take care of itself.”
Holland, third Kim Schneider, second Tammy Schneider and lead Heather Kalenchuk snapped a three-game losing streak in Monday’s final draw by defeating Norway’s Linn Githmark 7-5. Earlier on Monday, Scotland’s Anna Sloan had defeated Holland 7-3.
“We played pretty well against Scotland, but came up against a pretty hot team,” Holland said. “They didn’t give us many breaks and we didn’t always capitalize on opportunities.
“We’re pretty pleased with the way we played against Norway. The team felt more comfortable with the ice and that showed in our shotmaking.”
Sloan finished the day with a 9-3 win over defending champion Andrea Schopp from Germany.
Anette Norberg — a double Olympic champion from Sweden — was alone in first place at 4-1 entering Tuesday’s first draw. Norberg won both of her matches on Monday, defeating China’s Bingyu Wang before posting a 10-7 victory over Ji-Sun Kim of Korea.
As of Monday, six teams were tied for second at 3-2 — Norway, Scotland, China, Russia, Denmark and Switzerland. Canada, the Czech Republic, Germany and the United States (Patti Lank) were next in line at 2-3, followed by Korea (0-5).
Holland was to return to action Tuesday morning against the Czech Republic. Holland is to face the United States in the evening draw in a matchup of Saskatchewan-born skips. Lank, who was born in Midale, now resides in Lewiston, N.Y.
