[3] On Day 2, New Zealand, skipped by Jessica Smith, won their first ever game at the Women's World Championships, beating Scotland 8–6.

[4] In Draw 11, Canada, skipped by Rachel Homan ended Switzerland's 42 game winning streak at the World Championships.

[6] Following their Draw 14 defeat of Turkey (skipped by Dilşat Yıldız), Canada became the first country to secure a playoff spot.

[7] On March 21, the remaining five teams clinched playoff berths, beginning with Italy (skipped by Stefania Constantini) in Draw 15 in the morning, following a 10–2 win over Norway (Marianne Rørvik).

Draw 17, played in the evening saw South Korea (Gim Eun-ji), Sweden (Anna Hasselborg) and Denmark clinch the remaining three berths.

With their wins, the top two seeded teams Canada, and Switzerland would face off for the gold medal, while Korea played Italy for the bronze.

After Canada was forced to another single in the third, Homan's last rock in the fourth undercurled allowing Pätz to make a double to score two, handing Switzerland a 4–2 lead.

However, Pätz made two mistakes of her own in the fifth, and was heavy on both her draws, allowing Canada to score two to tie the game at 4 heading into the break.
