The Chinese capital of Beijing has been awarded the rights to host the 2017 World Women’s Curling Championships.
The event, awarderd by the World Curling Federation (WCF) on October 19, is set to take place from March 18 to 26, 2017. The venue for the championship is yet to be confirmed.
It marks for the first time a World Women’s Curling Championship to be held in China, following the men’s edition being held at Beijing’s Capital Indoor Stadium last year.
It also represents another boost for winter sports in Beijing, after the city was announced to be the host city for the 2022 winter Olympic Games back in July.
