It all comes down to this as the top two teams on the planet will go head-to-head for curling glory on Sunday evening in Sydney, N.S.

Ottawa's Team Rachel Homan will look to capture Canada's first gold-medal at the World Women's Curling Championship since 2018 when they take on Switzerland's Team Silvana Tirinzoni, the four-time defending champions, in the championship game.

The 34-year-old Homan, who owns a world title from 2017, leads all last rock throwers in shooting percentage at 88.6 per cent, just slightly better Team Tirinzoni's fourth Alina Paetz, who sits at 88.4 per cent. But, to be the champ, you have to beat the champ when it matter the most. And nobody has been able to do that over the last four women's worlds.
