PH curling team loses to China, finishes fourth in Asian Winter Games

The Philippines' mixed doubles curling team, composed of Marc Pfister and Kathleen Dubberstein, finished fourth in the 2025 Asian Winter Games after a narrow 6-5 loss to China in the bronze medal match.

The Philippine duo initially led 4-0 but China rallied back to secure a 6-4 lead by the seventh end.

Despite scoring one point in the final end, the Philippines could not overcome the deficit.

The team had a strong round robin performance with a 4-1 record, advancing to the semifinals after defeating Chinese Taipei but losing to Japan in that round.

Kathleen Dubberstein expressed that marginal misses on shots could be improved to achieve better results in the future.

Both Pfister and Dubberstein will compete again in the team events, with Pfister joining the men's squad and Dubberstein the women's.
