Silvana Tirinzoni (born June 25, 1979 in Oberglatt ZH ) is a Swiss curler . She plays in the position of skip for the CC Aarau.

Career

Tirinzoni won in 1999 with teammates Michele Knobel , Brigitte Schori and Martina von Arx , the World Junior Curling Championships in Ostersund. In the two years before that she was 6th (1998, as Skip) and 7th (1997, as a substitute player in Skip Bianca Röthlisberger's team ).

In 2006 Tirinzoni took part in the women's world championship for the first time , but only finished 10th there. In 2007 she was able to improve to 5th place at the World Cup . At the 2007 European Championships she was a substitute in Mirjam Ott's team and came fourth.

She played her third world championship in 2013 ; she reached fifth place with her team ( Marlene Albrecht , Esther Neuenschwander , Sandra Gantenbein , Manuela Siegrist ). At the last edition of the Curling Mixed European Championships in 2014, she won the bronze medal with Martin Rios , Romano Meier and Jenny Perret .

At the 2017 European Championships , she led her team to fourth place. In October 2017 she won the Swiss elimination competition for participation in the 2018 Winter Olympics . Together with her teammates Manuela Siegrist (third), Esther Neuenschwander (second) and Marlene Albrecht (lead) she prevailed against the teams of Alina Pätz and Binia Feltscher and represented Switzerland in Pyeongchang . There she came with her team after four wins and five defeats in the Round Robin in seventh place.

In the 2018/19 season she will compete with a newly formed team: Alina Pätz plays as fourth, Esther Neuenschwander as second and Melanie Barbezat as lead; Tirinzoni plays as Skip in third position. With this team she won the silver medal at the European Championships in 2018 . After a flawless round robin and a win against Daniela Jentsch's German team , she only had to admit defeat to the Swedes with Skip Anna Hasselborg in the final. The revenge was achieved at the 2019 World Cup : the Swedish curlers were defeated 8: 7 in the final, which meant the world championship title.
