2005 World Women's Curling Championship
Encyclopedia
The 2005
World Women's Curling Championship was held from March 19-27, 2005 at the Lagoon Leisure Centre in Paisley, Scotland. The tournament
was the first since the 1988
event to be held separately from the 2005 Ford World Men's Curling Championship
.
The tournament was plagued with problems from the start. Ice conditions were not the best, due to a number of factors, including the arena being located adjacent to a swimming pool. Also, de-ionized water, a standard at major events was not used for the first draws, due to a refusal by the organising committee to pay for it. These ice issues led to the postponement of the fourth draw. Also, ticket prices were very expensive, leading to poor attendance numbers. Due to a dispute with volunteers who wanted to be paid, time clocks were not used. This meant that the on-ice umpire was allowed to pull rocks out of a game as a penalty for slow play. This arguably cost the Russian team a loss in one game.
In the end, it was Sweden
, skipped by Anette Norberg
who won her first championship, and Sweden's first since 1999, with a win in the final over the United States
, skipped by Cassandra Johnson
