NORTH BAY, Ont.—An impressive round-robin record doesn’t necessarily mean Canada’s Jennifer Jones is a lock to win a world championship for the first time in a decade. Questions about second Jill Officer’s status lingered Friday after she skipped the morning game to rest after coming out early the day before. On Friday morning, Jones scored three points in the third end and took an 8-2 lead by stealing a pair in the sixth. Ottawa’s Rachel Homan ran the table en route to winning gold at last year’s world championship in Beijing. Jones is making her sixth career world women’s curling championship appearance.
