Canada will not compete for its first world curling mixed doubles gold medal this year after a 6-4 loss to Sweden in semifinal action on Friday.
The Gimli, Man., team of Kadriana and Colton Lott trailed the Swedes 5-2 after giving up a steal of three in the fifth end.
The Canadians scored two in the sixth to cut into Sweden's lead, but Therese Westman and Robin Ahlberg put the game away with a point in the seventh.
Sweden will face Australia in the final, while Canada will meet Italy for bronze.
Australia upset the defending champions 7-6 in the other semifinal when they entered an extra end with the hammer and scored a decisive point.
Canada has two silver and two bronze medals since the mixed doubles championship made its debut in 2008.
