After going undefeated through the round robin in Karlstad, Sweden, Kalthoff and Kasner lost the quarter-final game against Scotland. "We were playing so well and at the peak of our game," Kalthoff said. Despite the disappointment, they had to rally and play two more games because Olympic points for qualifying were on the line. Mixed doubles curling becoming an Olympic event was a huge game changer for Canada at PyeongChang 2018. "I guess we have played a big role in getting Canada into the Olympics," Kasner said, fighting back tears.
