As the last act of the World Junior Curling Championships 2024 the men played for medals on Saturday afternoon Norway – who had defeated United States by 10-4 in the semi-final – met Italy for the gold medals and the world title Italy won their semi-final on Friday by 7-5 against Denmark Norway finished fourth in the last two editions of the event Italy came fifth in 2023 and eighth in 2022 and took a single after a nose hit by skip Lukas Hoestmaelingen Hoestmaelingen was only partially successful with his double take-out attempt Francesco De Zanna played a perfect draw with his last for two and a 2-1 lead Norway scored two right back after a nose hit by Hoestmaelingen Norway were lying two on the one-foot and De Zanna needed to tap out one of them to give up only one He just did that and Norway stole a single De Zanna needed to nagivate his last stone through a narrow port to score two in the sixth Hoestmaelingen attempted a double take-out for three but wasn’t perfect with it and Norway only scored a single De Zanna made a hit for one in the eighth to tie that game again Hoestmelingen made a hit for one right back to take the lead back De Zanna made a perfect draw for one to take the game into an extra end Hoestmaelingen needed a double take-out for the win and also needed to keep his shooter in the house In meant that the teams were going into a second extra end De Zanna couldn’t put his last into scoring position and Norway won the game without needing to throw their last “We just tried to keep the head cool and we just love playing curling so we thought ‘why not another end?’ Sharing his feelings about making history by becoming the first Norwegian men’s team to win this title I’m just happy to make our country proud Italy skip Stefano Gilli said after the final we are so happy and we are looking forward to next year!” United States took on Denmark in the bronze medal game Both teams qualified for this event by finishing in the top four at the World Junior-B Championships in December 2023 they met in the semi-final with United States winning by 7-2 Denmark had hammer in the first end and they picked up two after two perfect shots by fourth player Jonathan Vilandt United States skip Wesley Wendling needed to draw for one it was Vilandt’s turn to draw for a single Wendling made a draw for one in the fourth Before the last two stones of the fifth end United States found themselves in a difficult situation Vilandt took the single American stone out and Denmark put a huge five on the board They were leading the game by 8-2 at half time Vilandt’s freeze attempt wasn’t successful and it gave United States a chance for three Wendling made no mistake with his last draw and the Americans scored three but wrecked on a guard to give up a steal of one he made a draw for one and for a 9-6 lead for Denmark and it opened the floor for a score of three for United States Wendling made the take-out required for it and tied the game at 9-9 Vilandt needed to tap out the American stone from shot position to score one He did that for 10-9 and the bronze medals so it’s just a crazy feeling to finally be here and achieve a big goal of ours even though it was getting tighter and tighter and we weren’t playing that well so I think it was good that we kept ourselves in.” The gold medallist Norwegian team are skip Lukas Hoestmaelingen second

The observation tower will be inclusive for all its users as the path and tower are a continuous ramp. The walkway will integrate dynamic elements into the route for visitors to learn and interact with the forest. Beginning with an aviary that houses a range of birds, the path will loop and rise to bring you closer to the trees, concluding with the observation deck. Image by EFFEKTThe lattice structure formed of straight, structural elements further cultivates the sculptural quality of the tower by creating an ambiguity between the tree trunks and the structure. Sensitive to the natural tones of the forest, the structural elements will be built out of Corten to succinctly blend in whilst the decks will be built from timber felled from the local trees themselves where the walkway and tower are being built is an already existing sports facility with treetop climbing paths and aerial zip lines up to 25 meters in the sky Other projects by the local firm, EFFEKT, have included the 2015 Building of the Year Award-winning Livsrum and their innovative self-sustaining village model that reimagines infrastructure News Via: EFFEKT You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If you have done all of this and still can't find the email The World Junior Curling Championships 2024 will be held in Lohja This will be the 49th edition of the championship on the men’s side and the 36th edition for the women Ten men’s and ten women’s teams representing their national Member Associations will compete won silver at the last two editions of the event they aim to climb one step higher on the podium Scotland took bronze last year and with one change in their line-up took gold medals in the mixed competition at the recently concluded Youth Olympic Games in Gangwon Another Youth Olympic champion will also compete in the men’s competition in the Kisakallio Sports Institute Norway’s skip Lukas Hoestmaelingen won Youth Olympic gold in the mixed team event in Lausanne in 2020 Denmark’s Jacob Schmidt and Nikki Jensen participated in this year’s Youth Olympics in Korea as well whereas Schmidt added another silver to his collection in the mixed doubles competition Denmark and New Zealand secured their places at the world championship by reaching the semi-finals at the World Junior-B Championships in December 2023 The participating teams in the women’s field are: Canada Scotland women are the reigning world champions Four of their team members were in their line-up last year as well Robyn Munro is a World Mixed Championship silver medallist from 2022 Japan took silver last year and were crowned world champions in 2022 Two of their team members — Ueno Yui and Miura Yuina — were members of both former podium-finisher teams All four members of Norway’s team were part of last year’s bronze medal-winning squad Their third player Nora Oestgaard and second thrower Ingeborg Forbregd are Youth Olympic champions from 2020 in the mixed team competition Germany and Türkiye women have all secured their spot at this event by reaching the semi-finals at the World Junior-B Curling Championships 2023 last December Round-robin play starts on Saturday 17 February and continues until Thursday 22 February The top four teams in the round-robin rankings qualify for the semi-finals in both genders All semi-finals will take place on Friday 23 February The women’s semi-final games will start at 14:00 and are followed by the men’s semi-finals at 19:00 In both genders one semi-final will be played between the first-ranked and the fourth-ranked teams while the other semi-final will feature the second- and third-ranked teams The winners of the semi-finals will play for gold medals and the world title The women’s medal games will take place on Saturday 24 February at 10:00 The men will play for the medals at 15:00 on the same day World Curling TV will be streaming all games Information about the streaming will be available soon Click here for the playing schedule All times are EET (Eastern European Time) which is Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) +2 hours Home / News / World Junior Curling Championships to begin in Lohja
