2004 World Women's Curling Championship
The 2004 World Women's Curling Championship was held at the Gavlerinken in Gävle, Sweden from April 17–25, 2004. The tournament was held in conjunction with the 2004 World Men's Curling Championship and the 2004 World Senior Curling Championships. It was the last event held in conjunction with the men's tournament, the last to be held before the adoption of the page playoff system, and the last event to feature just ten teams.
In the final, Canada's Colleen Jones rink won their second World Championship, defeating Norway's Dordi Nordby in the final, 8–4 in front of 1,500 spectators. Jones, who had won the silver medal in 2003 decided to opt for a more offensive strategy in 2004, which helped her success. She also greatly out-curled Nordby, 89% to 49%.
Switzerland's Luzia Ebnöther won the bronze medal, defeating the US's Patti Lank rink in the third place game, 10–5.
