The Sochi 2014 Olympic gold medallists have managed to reach the tournament's showpiece match without losing a game as they overcame the Russians 7-3 at the Capital Gymnasium.

It is not all doom and gloom for Russia though as they will have another chance to reach the gold medal contest when they take on the winner of Sweden against Scotland.

The two European nations are due to clash tomorrow, with the team who emerges victorious going on to face Russia in the competition's sole semi-final.

The North American powerhouse will have the opportunity to clinch their first World Women's Curling Championships title since they triumphed on home soil in Vernon in 2008.

They were also beaten finalists in 2011, 2014 and 2015.

"It feels unreal, we’re excited to be in the final for Canada, you never know what’s going to happen but we’re going to battle hard for gold for Canada," Canadian skip Rachel Homan said. 

"We’ll be trying our hardest, that’s for sure and it would mean the world to us. 

"We’re really excited that we’ve made it so far.”

The Canadians blanked the first end and could only record one point in the second, allowing Russia to take a 2-1 lead in the third.

Homan responded in the fourth end to give Canada a 3-2 advantage and then added another in the fifth.

Russian skip Anna Sidorova reduced her teams arrears to one in the sixth before Homan took control to guide her side to yet another win.

"The good thing is that we have had that experience and that we made history for Russian curling, qualifying in second place at the Worlds," said Sidorova.

"This didn’t mean that it was going to be easy, because the teams that have qualified are all top teams and you have to play your best curling to win. 

"We didn’t show our best today, I think the team felt too nervous. 

"The good thing about qualifying in first or second place is you have two chances to go to the final. 

"We still have a chance.”
