Another day, another split for Canada's Kerri Einarson at the women's world curling championship as the host country emerged from opening weekend with a 2-2 record.

Einarson and teammates were on their game in an 8-4 doubling of Turkey, but less precise in a subsequent 11-3 loss to defending champion Switzerland on Sunday.

After giving up a steal of four in the sixth end, the Canadians shook hands with Silvana Tirinzoni's Swiss foursome that's chasing a third straight world title.

Canada's second day of the preliminary round day resembled Saturday when the Manitoba rink dominated Italy in its first game and then lost to Norway.

"It's not what we wanted to start off with, but it is what it is," Einarson said. "We're getting there and we aren't panicking."
