Canada won gold in both the men's and women's tournaments at the senior world curling championships Saturday in Gangneung, South Korea.

Sherry Anderson's Saskatoon rink beat Scotland's Jackie Lockhart 8-4 in the women's final.

Howard Rajala's foursome from Ottawa topped former world champion Graeme Connal's Scottish rink 7-2 on the men's side to win the gold medal.

It's the 10th time Canada has swept gold at the event since its inception in 2002.

Anderson, alongside vice-skip Patty Hersikorn, second Brenda Goertzen and lead Anita Silvernagle, won a record third world senior women's title with the win.

For Rajala, whose team is rounded out by vice-skip Rich Moffatt, second Chris Fulton, lead Paul Madden and alternate Phil Daniel, it's a first world championship.
