From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The World Junior-B Curling Championships are an annual curling bonspiel . The championships feature curlers under the age of 21 competing to qualify for three spots in the World Junior Curling Championships . Nations that participate are those which have not already qualified for the World Junior Championships. The competition originally was established in 1999, then was replaced after the 2003-04 season with the European Junior Curling Challenge and Pacific-Asia Junior Curling Championships . In 2016, the Junior-B Championships were brought back to replace the European and Pacific-Asia Junior Championships.[ 1]
The 2021 World Junior-B Championships were scheduled to be held in Lohja, Finland , but in September 2020 the World Curling Federation announced they would be cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic .[ 2]
