CALGARY --
Niklas Edin's fifth world men's curling title was memorable not only because of the history the Swede made.
That he and his teammates were able to play in a final Sunday for a third straight crown - another men's curling record - made achieving both milestones feel even sweeter.
Sweden doubled Scotland's Bruce Mouat 10-5 in the championship game in Calgary.
The 2021 BKT Tires and OK Tire World Men's Curling Championship reached the finish line late Sunday night despite four participants, including an athlete on a playoff team, testing positive for COVID-19.
None showed symptoms of the coronavirus. No games were played Saturday while mass testing was carried out. Alberta Health approved the resumption of Sunday's playoffs.
