Curling competition at Saint John, New Brunswick
The 1999 World Women's Curling Championship (branded as 1999 Ford World Women's Curling Championship for sponsorship reasons) was held at Harbour Station in Saint John, New Brunswick from April 3–10, 1999. The event was held in conjunction with the 1999 World Men's Curling Championship . It was the first Women's World Championship to be held in Atlantic Canada .
Elisabet Gustafson , skip of Team Sweden won a record fourth Women's World Championship (breaking a tie with Canada's Sandra Schmirler ). Sweden beat the United States (skipped by Patti Lank ) in the final, 8–5. The turning point in the game came in the eighth end when the U.S. made some "crucial mistakes" leading to a steal of four for Sweden. At the time, the game was tied at four. Gustafson cut of Lank's ability to draw to the button, and Lank came up short on her last rock, an attempted draw to bite the eight-foot. She had to throw the rock wide into an "ever-building frost layer on the edge of the ice", and did not make the rings. Lank believed her rock may have picked as "it just went sideways". Lank could have made a hit through a narrow port instead, but opted for the draw as she prefers to throw draws. Gustafson was pregnant at the time, expecting to give birth in July. It would be Gustafson's last World Championship gold medal, as she would retire from competitive curling after a disappointing showing at the 2002 Winter Olympics .
Denmark, skipped by Lene Bidstrup defeated Norway's Dordi Nordby in the bronze medal game, 8–7.
Games were televised in Canada on TSN with the finals on CBC . The playoffs were also shown on Eurosport for the first time, as interest in curling began to rise due to its inclusion in the 1998 Winter Olympics .
