Canada’s Kadriana and Colton Lott clinched bronze at the World Mixed Doubles Championship on May 2, 2026, in Geneva, Switzerland. This victory comes as a significant comeback after their earlier semifinal loss.
Before this triumph, expectations were high for Team Lott. They had entered the championship with hopes of securing gold but faced a tough defeat in the semifinals. The mood shifted dramatically when they took to the ice against Italy’s Stefania Constantini and Amos Mosaner for the bronze medal match.
The decisive moment occurred in the sixth end. Canada scored four points using a power play, leading to an impressive final score of 11-3. Their shooting accuracy was remarkable—89 percent compared to Italy’s 65 percent.
This win marked Canada’s first medal at the world championship since 2019. Kadriana Lott celebrated her first-ever world curling medal, while Colton Lott earned his second international medal of the season.
“I said to Colton again this morning, let’s get that medal,” Kadriana reflected. “Coming to an event like this; they’re once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.”
Colton echoed her sentiments, stating, “There are no words that can describe this feeling right now, other than just gratitude.” Their joy was palpable as they embraced their achievement on an international stage.
The success of Team Lott resonates beyond just personal accolades; it invigorates Canadian curling. With the U-18 Men’s World Championship also underway—where Czechia defeated Latvia for bronze—the momentum in curling is palpable.
Czechia has previously won bronze three times since their last instance in 2005, while Latvia celebrated its best achievement at U-18 level with a fourth-place finish. These results highlight the growing competitiveness in international curling.
As they celebrate their victory, Kadriana and Colton look forward to continuing their journey together. “To share this together on world stages is something we want to continue,” Kadriana said. They aim to cherish these moments throughout their lives.
