Canada's Rachel Homan ran her win streak to double digits at the 2017 world women's curling championship on Thursday, defeating Italy's Diana Gaspari 8-5. Homan (10-0) and her Ottawa crew had already locked up first place in the round-robin standings after opening the 12-nation tournament with nine straight wins. The 10th was just icing on the cake, but leaves Homan on the verge of finishing the preliminary round undefeated. "We're in the 1-2 game, and that's what we wanted," said Homan. Switzerland has won four of the last five women's world titles.
