ST. PAUL, Minn. — Canada’s mixed doubles team scored four points in the sixth end and went on to an 8-6 win over Denmark at the world senior and mixed doubles curling championship Sunday.

Skip Robert Campbell, from Charlottetown, P.E.I., used the big sixth end to a break a 4-4 tie. Denmark responded with two points in the seventh, but that was as close as they would get.

In women’s senior action, Canada opened with a 9-2 demolition of Japan.

Skip Christine Jurgenson of Vancouver used a three-point fourth end and a four-point sixth to clinch the victory.

Jurgenson was a second on her sister Marilyn Bodough’s 1986 world women’s championship winning team, and was the lead on Pat Sanders’ rink that won the world senior title in 2009.

In senior men’s action, Canada scored two in the first and seventh ends to beat Denmark 6-1. Edmonton’s Mark Johnson added singles in the second and sixth ends.
