2023 World Junior-B Curling Championships
Curling competition at Lohja, Finland
The 2023 World Junior-B Curling Championships were held from December 8 to 19 at the Kisakallio Sports Institute in Lohja, Finland.[1] Following the decision of the Finnish Curling Association to decline their host spots in both the men's and women's tournaments at the 2024 World Junior Curling Championships, four women's (China, Canada, Germany, and Turkey) and four men's teams (Canada, United States, Denmark, and New Zealand) were promoted to the 2024 World Junior Curling Championships.[2]
