Rachel Cathrine Homan (born April 5, 1989 in Ottawa , real name Rachel Germain ) is a Canadian curler . She has been playing as Skip since 2002 .
In 2010 she won the Canadian Junior Championships with her teammates Emma Miskew , Laura Crocker and Lynn Kreviazuk and therefore represented Canada at the 2010 Junior World Championships . The team lost to Sweden in the final. In 2013, 2014 and 2017 she won the Canadian women's championship Tournament of Hearts . As the winner, she and her team represented Canada at the following World Championships. After a bronze medal in 2013 and a silver medal in 2014 , she won the gold medal at the 2017 World Championships together with Emma Miskew, Joanne Courtney and Lisa Weagle . They became the first team in the history of the Women's World Cup to win all games and beat Anna Sidorova's team from Russia 8: 3.
In November 2017 she won the Canadian elimination competition ( Roar of the Rings ) by beating Jennifer Jones' team in the final and secured participation with her team at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang .

At the start of the 2018/19 season, she won the first tournament of the newly introduced Curling World Cup in Suzhou, China .
"Burned Rock" controversy
At the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, there was a controversy in the third preliminary round match against Denmark around Skip Madeleine Dupont . Homan had an opponent's stone removed from the game in the fifth end after a Danish player accidentally touched it while wiping ("burned rock"). Homan acted properly, but - according to curling etiquette - she could have simply ignored the violation and left the Danish stone in the game, since the Danish women had gained almost no advantage from the mishap. Team Canada scored four points in the fifth end. For her decision, Homan was criticized, among others, by the Canadian Olympic curling champion from 1998 Joan McCusker . Team Canada lost the game 8: 9 after an additional end.
Private life
Rachel Homan graduated from the University of Ottawa with a bachelor's degree in human kinetics in 2011 . She is currently studying at the University of Alberta . She has been married to former ice hockey player Shawn Germain since September 2016.
