GRANDE PRAIRIE, Alta. (CP) - Kelly Scott has been dreaming of winning a gold medal for Canada at the Ford World Women’s Curling Championship but Hollywood couldn’t have written a better script Thursday as she battled back for a thrilling overtime win over Norway.
After giving up steals of two in the fourth and fifth ends to Dordi Nordby, Canada was trailing 8-4 after eight. But with the crowd at the Canada Games Arena chanting ”Go Canada Go” Scott scored three points in the ninth and stole a single point in the 10th to tie the game 8-8. Nordby missed on an angle raised takeout with her final stone giving Canada a 9-8 victory and fourth place.
