Canada’s Kadriana and Colton Lott clinched bronze at the World Mixed Doubles Championship held in Geneva, Switzerland, marking a significant comeback after their semifinal loss. This victory not only highlights their skill but also serves as a pivotal moment for Canadian curling, which had not seen a medal at this level since 2019.

This win is particularly meaningful for Kadriana Lott, who earned her first-ever world curling medal. Colton Lott, on the other hand, secured his second international medal of the 2025-26 season. Their success reflects not just individual talent but also the hard work put in by Team Lott throughout the championship.
Key statistics from the match:
- Final score: Canada 11, Italy 3

Colton expressed his pride in their achievement, stating, “There’s no words that can describe this feeling right now, other than just gratitude.” Kadriana echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the importance of such international events and how they cherish these moments together.
This championship also casts a spotlight on other countries competing in international curling. For instance, Czechia recently defeated Latvia to win bronze at the U-18 Men’s World Championship—an achievement that adds to their history of success in this arena.
