Rachel Homan, a dominant figure in women's curling, is not participating in this year's Scotties. Her rink, which has won the last two world championships, is instead focused on Olympic preparation.
The final weekend has arrived at the 2026 Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
With five-time champion Rachel Homan not playing at the Canadian women's curling championship due to Olympic preparation, the 18-team field won't have its usual heavy favourite in the mix.
