Hey there, time traveller!

At least a third of the women’s four-player curling teams vying to represent Canada at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing will come from Manitoba.
On Thursday, Curling Canada added Tracy Fleury of East St. Paul and Jennifer Jones of St. Vital to the list of nine teams participating in the Olympic Trials, set for November in Saskatoon. The move was based on the 2018-19 and 2019-20 Canadian Team Ranking System standings.
Kerri Einarson of Gimli is also in the field after winning the 2020 Scotties national women’s title.
Rachel Homan of Ottawa will also battle to return to the Olympics after failing to medal in 2018.
On the men’s side, Brad Gushue of St. John’s, N.L., John Epping of Toronto, Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie., Ont., Kevin Koe of Calgary and Brendan Bottcher have Trials berths.
Teams can still qualify through the ’21 Scotties and Brier, to be played in a bubble format in Calgary, and will also have opportunities at other events in the fall.
Meanwhile, four of 16 duos have qualified for the Canadian mixed doubles trials, to be played after Christmas, although a host city hasn’t been selected.
Based on the most up-to-date rankings, the teams confirmed are: Jocelyn Peterman and Brett Gallant; Jones and Brent Laing; Nancy Martin and Tyrel Griffith; Homan and John Morris.
