Switzerland and Sweden extended their unbeaten starts to the 2024 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championships on the fourth day of competition in Oestersund.
Sweden opened up with a comfortable 6-2 victory over the Netherlands before bringing an end to Canada's own winning run with a narrow 6-5 win in the evening session.
It means the team of Isabella and Rasmus Wranaa sit firmly in control of Group B with three matches left to play after Korea defeated the USA 7-5 to leave both teams with two defeats to their name.
Switzerland enjoy a similarly dominant position in Group A after they thrashed Spain 8-1 in their only match on Tuesday.
Briar Schwaller-Huerlimann and Yannick Schwaller required just six ends to wrap up the win and are in pole position to qualify directly for the semi-finals ahead of Italy, who sit second while Japan and Norway look set to battle for third.
Italy strengthened their grip on second with a 9-4 win over Denmark while Norway beat Estonia by the same scoreline and Japan beat Germany 7-5 to move clear of their opponents in the standings.
