The case for Silvana Tirinzoni

Skip of the only women's team to win four consecutive world championships, taking gold in 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023 with Alina Patz throwing last stones, then adding silvers in 2024 and 2025 when Rachel Homan's Canada finally stopped them. The arrangement itself was unusual and much discussed: Tirinzoni called the game and held the broom while Patz delivered the fourth pair, a split of the skip's role that several elite teams have since copied. She also won European titles in 2023 and 2024 and a long run of Swiss national championships, and finally took an Olympic medal at Milano Cortina 2026, silver after a 6-5 loss to Sweden in the final. She announced her retirement in the summer of 2026, ending the most successful sustained run any women's team has assembled.

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.
