Gushue and his teammates were undefeated through the tournament and also through the Canadian championship, so they deserve the victory. Although Gushue had won an Olympic gold medal for Canada and attended 14 Briers, this was the first time he participated in the worlds. His dedication to curling made him the sentimental favourite.
