GANGNEUNG, Korea, Republic Of – Canada’s Kaitlyn Lawes and John Morris clinched first in round-robin play in mixed doubles curling on Sunday at the Pyeongchang Olympics.

The Canadians beat South Korea’s Hyeji Jang and Kijeong Lee 7-3 to finish the round robin 6-1.

Lawes and Morris dropped the first game of the tournament to Norway 9-6 on Thursday before reeling off six straight victories.

“One thing I really like about our team is that we learn very quickly,” said Morris. “We haven’t had a lot of time together but we communicate very effectively so we learnt from that game. I didn’t play well so it was mostly, ‘What do I have to do to get better?”‘
