2022 Olympians Tahli Gill and Dean Hewitt have continued their impressive early season form winning back-to-back events in Canada, with the team going undefeated in all rounds at both competitions. The first victory for the pair came in late September at the Mixed Double Super Series in Vernon, BC, Canada, with the team last week competing in the Saville Mixed Doubles Classic, in Alberta, Canada. Drawn in Pool Group D, Gill and Hewitt cruised through their opening matches winning all four games to advance to the quarter-finals. In the quarter-final, they faced off against Canadian pair Amanda and Aaron Sluchinski, with the Australians winning comfortably 7-1. The match-up for the semi-final was Korean’s Kim and Seong, with Gill and Hewitt again impressive in a 6-2 victory to make it through to the gold medal game. Against Canadian's Papley and van Amsterdam in the final, Gill and Hewitt won again in strong fashion, taking the gold medal in a score of 6-2. After the competition, Gill was thrilled with their great start to the season. “We are very proud and excited to claim back-to-back wins in our last two Mixed Doubles curling events. “Finishing both events undefeated is also a great feeling. “Competing against some of the top teams from around the globe has been an amazing experience and pushed us to elevate our game. “We are determined to keep the momentum going as we continue this season! “Thank you for all the support so far.” |
