The 2013 World Financial Group Continental Cup of Curling was held from January 10 to 13 at the South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton, British Columbia.[1] The Continental Cup, based on the Ryder Cup of golf, pitted teams from North America against teams from the rest of the World. The tournament featured team events, mixed doubles events, singles competitions, and skins competitions, and the brunt of available points was awarded in the skins competitions. TSN broadcast the event, as it had in previous years.[2]
Team North America was represented by Canada Cup champions Jennifer Jones and Kevin Martin, Tournament of Hearts champion Heather Nedohin, Brier champion Glenn Howard, and the United States men's and women's champions Heath McCormick and Allison Pottinger, respectively. Team World was represented by reigning world champion Mirjam Ott, world silver medalist Margaretha Sigfridsson, four-time world junior champion Eve Muirhead, two-time world bronze medalist Niklas Edin, two-time world silver medalist Tom Brewster, and two-time European champion Thomas Ulsrud.[2]
Team World entered the event as the defending champions, but were unseated by Team North America. Team World took an early lead in the first day of the event, but Team North America roared back in the next few days, dominating in the team, mixed doubles, and singles competitions to hold a large lead. Team North America clinched the cup in the second round of skins play after holding back a late Team World comeback,[3] giving Team North America a 5–4 edge in the overall cup record. Team North America's win ensured that no defending champion to date would successfully defend its title from the previous Cup.
