Английская Википедия:2021 Canadian Curling Trials Direct-Entry Event
The 2021 Canadian Curling Trials Direct-Entry Event was held from September 22 to 26 at the RA Centre in Ottawa, Ontario.[1] The event was held to qualify two men's teams and three women's teams for the 2021 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials.
On the men's side, Teams Mike McEwen and Matt Dunstone secured the two Trials berths, both finishing 5–1 through the round robin and qualifying rounds.[2] McEwen's only loss came to Dunstone in Draw 2 with Dunstone dropping their first game to Glenn Howard before running the table.[3] The three teams who did not qualify, Colton Flasch, Jason Gunnlaugson, and Glenn Howard, will still have a chance to reach the Olympic Trials, as they drop into the 2021 Canadian Olympic Curling Pre-Trials.
On the women's side, Teams Casey Scheidegger, Kelsey Rocque, and Laura Walker all secured berths to the trials, beating out Corryn Brown and Suzanne Birt for the three spots.[4] After the round robin concluded, Teams Scheidegger and Rocque both had 3–1 records, qualifying them directly to the trials. Team Walker posted a 2–2 record while Teams Brown and Birt shared 1–3 records. Due to Brown beating Birt in the round robin, they earned the spot in the playoff against Team Walker for the third spot.[2] In the playoff, Brown needed to beat Walker twice to earn the trials spot, whereas Walker only needed one win to clinch the spot. Brown defeated Walker in the first game, however, Walker then won the second game to earn the third and final spot at the trials in Saskatoon.[5] Teams Corryn Brown and Suzanne Birt will now play in the Pre-Trials for a second opportunity to earn their spot in the Olympic Trials.
