South Korea’s Kyeongae Kim and Jihoon Seong dropped to 1-5 with the loss.
The teams traded deuces in the first two ends, and then Peterman made a last-shot raise-tap to score three in the third, and Canada never trailed again.
Canada returns to action Wednesday with matches against Finland and China.
鈥淲e鈥檙e right where we want to be,鈥 said Peterman. 鈥淲e never thought with the pool that we’re in that this would be an undefeated week. We know we have a battle every game, and we have three more round-robin games to go.鈥

Combined results from this year’s competition and the 2024 world playdowns will determine the seven countries that will join host Italy at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Games. The two remaining spots in the 10-team field will come from the Olympic Qualifying Event in December at Kelowna, B.C.
