The Asian superpower defeated hosts Canada 5-2 at the Richmond Curling Centre to lift the Kate Caithness Salver trophy.

It was a special moment for skip Wang Haitao, who is now the back-to-back and reigning Paralympic and world champion.

With the help of third player Zhang Shuaiyu, second Yang Jinqiao, lead Li Nana, supported by Zhang Mingliang and coach Li Jianrui, Wang and China were tied 2-2 after five ends in the final.

With an opportunity to blank in the sixth, the Chinese opted to draw for a single point and go up 3-2.

In the seventh end, Canada led by skip Mark Ideson, backed by fourth player, Jon Thurston, third and vice-skip, Ina Forrest, second Gil Dash and coach Mick Lizmore, was left with a blank end after an attempt to set up two points was rolled out on a hit.  

In the eighth end, Thurston, who was up against a challenging draw to the four-foot against multiple Chinese stones, could not deliver as China grabbed the victory.

"We’re very excited!" Zhang said after the win.

"This is my first time at a world championship so to get the gold medal makes me so happy."

In the bronze medal game, Sweden gave away a 3-0 lead as Scotland claimed the victory.

The third end was crucial for the Scots, who levelled the game at 3-3.

That swung the confidence in their favour as skip Hugh Nibloe and team extended the lead in the fourth end before eventually winning 7-4.

"It’s unbelievable. I don’t know where to start," Gary Logan, Scotland’s second, said.

"In 2019, we got the silver medal, so to just dig in there in the second half and do it feels great.

"From start to finish, everything has been great here, from the staff to the volunteers, everyone has been brilliant.

"The team struggled in the start of the week but today we put our heads down and dug in and all good."
