Rachel Homan, Brad Jacobs reach Kioti National curling finals




Canadian curling teams skipped by Brad Jacobs and Rachel Homan will play in Sunday's finals of the Grand Slam's Kioti National.

Reigning women's world champion Homan of Ottawa will chase a record-extending 17th career Grand Slam when she faces Sweden's Anna Hasselborg in St. John's.

Homan was a 7-6 winner in an extra end in Saturday's semifinal against South Korea's Eun-jung Kim.

Hasselborg dumped Canada's Kerri Einarson 7-1 in their semifinal.

Homan won the second of five Grand Slams this season, which was November's Co-op Canadian Open in Nisku, Alta., and was a runner-up to Einarson in the HearingLife Tour Challenge in Charlottetown.

Jacobs doubled Scotland's Ross Whyte 6-3 to earn a matchup with 2023 men's world champion and 2022 Olympic silver medallist Bruce Mouat of Scotland.

Mouat defeated Canada's Mike McEwen 5-1 in their semifinal.

Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., is skipping Albertans Marc Kennedy, Brett Gallant and Ben Hebert this season.

Jacobs ousted hometown favourite Brad Gushue 6-5 in a quarterfinal earlier Saturday. Gushue was runner-up to Mouat in the season's first two Grand Slams.

The Kioti National offers $400,000 in prize money.
