The case for Alina Patz
Six world women's championships, more than any other Canadian or European skip has managed, and won with four different teams, which is the detail that separates her from every other multiple champion. Patz was the alternate on Mirjam Ott's winning Swiss rink in 2012, skipped her own team to gold in 2015 at 25, and then threw last stones for Silvana Tirinzoni's team through four consecutive titles from 2019 to 2023, adding silvers in 2024 and 2025. She also won the world mixed doubles title in 2011. Her hitting accuracy is the technical hallmark, but the four-peat was built on draws into congested houses under the five-rock rule. Three Olympic appearances brought two fourth places before she finally reached the podium with silver at Milano Cortina 2026, and she returns to skipping her own team afterwards.
The case for Anna Hasselborg
The second woman after Anette Norberg to win two Olympic gold medals as a skip, taking PyeongChang 2018 and then Milano Cortina 2026 with a 6-5 win over Switzerland, and adding bronze in Beijing 2022 for three Olympic medals in total. That Olympic record is the strongest in the current women's game, and it sits oddly alongside a world championship record of two silvers and no gold, which is the main argument used against her. She has three European titles, six Swedish championships and eight Grand Slam wins, and in 2022 her team became the first women's rink to complete a career Grand Slam by winning all four majors. Her calm, low-risk endgame management is the most studied aspect of her play, particularly her willingness to take a single when the alternative carries steal risk.
