    Canada won the gold medal in women's Olympic curling Thursday, beating Sweden 6-3 and avenging a loss to the Swedes in the final at the Vancouver Games in 2010.

    The Canadians broke up a scrappy, error-strewn game with two steal points in the ninth end to go ahead 6-3 and then defended out the 10th.

    Canadian skip Jennifer Jones' rink went through the tournament undefeated, winning 11 straight games.

    It's the first gold for Canada's women curlers in the country's second most popular sport since 1998, when curling returned to the Olympic program. Sweden's women had won gold at the last two Olympics.
