The 2014 World Women's Curling Championship (branded as Ford World Women's Curling Championship 2014 for sponsorship reasons) was held from 15 to 23 March at the Harbour Station in Saint John, New Brunswick.[1]
In the final, Switzerland, skipped by Binia Feltscher upset the host Canadian team, skipped by Rachel Homan in a surprise win, 9–5. Canada led 5–3 after the seventh end, but errors made by the team in the eighth end caused the Swiss to score a three-ender, giving the Swiss a 6–5 lead. Canada made more mistakes in the ninth, leading Homan to attempt a very difficult angle raise double takeout on her last, which she missed, giving up another three-ender, the first steal of three the team gave up in the tournament. Canada finished first in the round robin with a 10–1 record, their only loss coming against the same Swiss team. It was the second gold medal for Switzerland in the previous three years.[2]
