Canadian rink slips to .500 after loss to Japan at women’s worlds

SILKEBORG, Denmark — Canada’s Chelsea Carey dropped to 2-2 at the world women’s curling championships after a 7-5 loss to Japan’s Seina Nakajima on Monday.

Carey’s Calgary-based rink trailed 4-2 after giving up consecutive single-point steaks in the fourth and fifth ends.

Canada got back within one after eight, but Japan put up a deuce in nine to take a three-point edge.

Canada was back in action later Monday against Finland’s Oona Kauste.
