Ross Whyte og Fay Henderson vinner tredje strake skotske curlingtitler

Ross Whyte og Fay Henderson sikret seg hver sin tredje strake nasjonale tittel under Hardie Engineering Scottish Curling Championships i Dumfries. Whytes lag slo Kyle Waddells lag 8-6 etter ekstraomgang i herrefinalen, mens Hendersons lag slo Callie Soutars lag 7-4 i kvinnerfinalen, begge på lørdag. Seirene kommer mens Skottland forbereder utvelgelse av representanter til kommende VM.

Hardie Engineering Scottish Curling Championships ble avsluttet i Dumfries med tre strake titler på rad for Ross Whyte i herreklassen og Fay Henderson i kvinneklassen. Lørdag overvant Team Whyte Team Kyle Waddell i en tett final, og vant 8-6 etter ekstraomgang. I kvinnefinalen seiret Team Henderson over Team Callie Soutar med 7-4. Whyte, for tiden rangert nr. 4 i verden, har vært i god form. Bare forrige måned slo laget hans Waddell 6-3 i herrefinalen i Crown Royal Players' Championship, noe som markerte Whytes andre Grand Slam of Curling-tittel i karrieren. Et innlegg på sosiale medier fremhevet prestasjonen: «En stor seier for Ross Whytes lag i den skotske herrecurlingfinalen, da de hentet tredje strake nasjonale tittel!» (Curling Stadium Europe). Merkbart fraværende fra turneringen var Team Bruce Mouat og Team Rebecca Morrison, som representerte Storbritannia ved OL Vinterleker Milano Cortina 2026. Skottlands curlingmyndigheter vil snart kunngjøre lagene som er valgt til VM. Disse nasjonale suksessene understreker dybden av talent i skotsk curling, med Whyte og Henderson som fortsetter dominansen på nasjonalt nivå.
