Canada's Chelsea Carey suffered her first loss at women's curling world championship on Monday in Swift Current, Sask., falling 6-3 to Russia's Anna Sidorova in Draw 6.

Russia (3-1) played conservatively in the early going, capitalizing on a missed takeout by Canada (3-1) in the seventh end for a decisive two points.

Carey's Calgary-based rink was the last undefeated team at the tournament as Japan (3-1) was upset by Denmark (2-2) earlier in the same draw.

Canada faced Sweden's Margaretha Sigfridsson in the evening draw.

Sidorova is a two-time European champion and has won bronze twice at the world championships.

This is Carey's first world championship. Canada hasn't won gold at the event since 2008.
