Mixed Doubles is a relatively recently developed form of curling, but it is catching on, including a bonspiel hosted by the Yorkton Curling Club earlier this month.

The local event attracted 10 mixed doubles teams, with the duo David Zbeetnoff and Kristina Just emerging the event winners.

The idea of doubles curling was developed by Curling Canada's Warren Hansen in 2001 to be one of four discipline variations for the inaugural Continental Cup of Curling.

The first World Mixed Doubles Championship took place in 2008.
