Teams led by Xenia Schwaller and Marco Hoesli won the women's and men's titles at the Swiss Curling Championships in Bern, securing spots at the world championships for the first time. Olympic silver medalists Silvana Tirinzoni (women's) and Yannick Schwaller (men's bronze) were defeated in best-of-three finals. Schwaller's victory highlights her team's dominant season, while 46-year-old Tirinzoni confronts potential retirement.
Sweden's Niklas Edin captured his record eighth men's world curling championship title with a 9-6 victory over Canada's Matt Dunstone in the final in Ogden, Utah. The win avenges a disappointing Olympic performance earlier this year. Edin and his team proved their top form after early setbacks.
