- We have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to try to arrange these competitions, but the safety and well-being of our participants and organizers is our top priority, says chairman Kate Caithness in a statement.

In addition to the European Championships, it was decided that four other competitions will also be canceled:

  • The Pacific-Asia Curling Championships 2020

  • The Americas Challenge 2020

  • The World Qualification Event 2021

  • The World Junior-B Curling Championships 2021

Team Anna Hasselborg thus misses the chance to win the European Championships for the third year in a row.

In 2018 they won the gold in Tallinn and last year they won at home in Helsingborg.
