GANGEUNG, Korea, Republic Of -- Canada's Rachel Homan is still searching for her first curling win at the Winter Olympics.
The Ottawa skip fell to 0-3 with an extra-end 9-8 loss to Denmark's Madeleine Dupont on Friday.
Denmark (1-2), stole a single in the 11th after Homan wrecked her last stone, ending a back-and-forth matchup between last-place teams.
"I've seen (Homan) play lots and played against her many times and I never expected her to miss it," Dupont said. "But it's the Olympics and you have to make every rock and its nerve wracking to be 0-2 and facing 0-3 so anyone can miss it."
Canada took an 8-6 lead in the eighth end when Dupont's draw attempt came up light. But Denmark, with hammer in the 10th, scored two to tie it after Homan failed on a double-takeout.
Canada is the only rink in the women's draw without a win.
"You can feel that (Canada is) not they're usual 'them,"' Dupont said. "They're just different because they can feel this pressure, which we don't have."
Down 4-2 in the fifth, Homan scored four points for a 6-4 lead. There was come controversy in the end after a Danish player touched or "burned" a rock in motion.
When burned rocks occur, the opposing team has three choices: They can ignore the foul, rearrange the stones to whatever position they think they would have ended up if the stone hadn't been touched, or remove the stone from play. Homan chose to remove the stone, leading to the four-point end.
Denmark replied with a deuce in the sixth to tie it.
It's been a rocky start for Homan at her first Olympic Games. She opened the tournament Thursday with losses against South Korea and Sweden.
Canada is the defending Olympic champion. Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg skipped the Canadian team to a gold medal against Sweden at the 2014 Games in Sochi.
The 28-year-old Homan is a three-time national champion and the reigning world champion.
Canada plays the United States on Saturday.
