The young pair did not have an easy route to glory as they had to beat four Olympic medallists on their way to winning the title.

Lott said: “It means everything. We've been in a couple of tough finals, we lost the National final in Canada and then we lost the Canad Inns this year.

"So to finally come through in that final it was huge especially being at an international event representing Canada."

Down 4-0, Norway rallied for two points in the fourth, then stole two to level the score at 5-5 heading into the eighth and final end.

Skaslien wrecked on a guard on her final draw, giving Canada the victory and the Curling World Cup leg three title, 7-5.

"It was a good game," said Ulsrud. "I thought we played pretty well in the beginning, but it didn't show on the score boards.

"Too little too late is the quote for this game. We were down 4-0 and came back and it was close."
