Therese Westman (born April 22, 1997) is a Swedish curler from Sundbyberg.[2] She currently plays mixed doubles with partner Robin Ahlberg.

Career

Women's

In 2016, Westman qualified for the World Junior Curling Championships, skipping her own team of Sarah Pengel, Maria Larsson, Mikaela Altebro and Johanna Heldin.[3] At the event, the team finished the round robin with a 5–4 record, qualifying for a tiebreaker. They then lost 10–4 in the tiebreaker to Hungary's Dorottya Palancsa, eliminating them from contention.[4]

Out of juniors, Westman began playing third for her mother Anette Norberg with Heldin and Pengel joining the team at front end. During their two seasons together, the team found success at the Swedish Women's Curling Championship, earning silver in 2018 and bronze in 2019.[5][6] They also reached the semifinals of two tour events, the 2017 Paf Masters Tour and Following the 2018–19 season, Westman became solely focused on the mixed doubles discipline with partner Robin Ahlberg.[7]

During the 2022–23 season, Westman spared for the Anna Hasselborg rink while third Sara McManus was on maternity leave.[2] Playing lead for the team, they won the Sundbyberg Open and reached the quarterfinals of the 2022 Masters Grand Slam event.[8][9] She was also the team's alternate at the 2022 European Curling Championships where they finished 5–4, just missing the playoffs.[10]

Mixed doubles

Beginning in the 2018–19 season, Westman started playing mixed doubles with Robin Ahlberg. The pair had previously teamed up at the 2018 Swedish Mixed Doubles Curling Championship where they claimed the national title.[11] In their first full season together, the pair represented Sweden in the first leg of the 2018–19 Curling World Cup, finishing 2–4.[12] They also finished runner-up at the 2019 Swedish championship, losing in the final to Anna Hasselborg and Oskar Eriksson who went on to win the 2019 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship.[13] The following season, the pair began playing mixed doubles exclusively and found more success, reaching the playoffs in eight of their twelve events and losing the final of the International Mixed Doubles St. Gallen.[14]

After back-to-back silver medals in 2021 and 2022 at the Swedish championship, Westman and Ahlberg had their best season yet during the 2022–23 season. In January, the pair won their first World Curling Tour event, defeating Olympic silver medalists Kristin Skaslien and Magnus Nedregotten in the final of the Gothenburg Mixed Doubles Cup.[15] Despite losing in the final of the Swedish championships for a third year in a row, Westman and Ahlberg won the qualifier for the 2023 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship in a rematch against Rebecka Thunman and Daniel Magnusson.[16] Representing Sweden at the World Championship, the pair had mixed results, finishing fifth in their group with a 4–5 record.[17] The 2023–24 season was less successful for the team. While they did reach the final of the Mixed Doubles Gstaad, they were unable to medal at the Swedish championship and finished 1–3 at the world qualifier.[18]

In November 2025, Westman and Ahlberg won their second tour event at the Mixed Doubles Łódź, defeating the Norwegian pair of Eilin Kjærland and Mathias Brænden in the final.[19] They also reached two other finals during the 2025–26 season at the Mixed Doubles Karlstad and Madtown Doubledown, losing to Tori Koana / Go Aoki and Katie Ford / Oliver Campbell respectively. In the new year, the pair were appointed to represent Sweden at the 2026 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship.[20]

With teammates Robin Ahlberg, Johannes Patz and Mikaela Altebro, Westman led her team to an 8–0 record in the round robin, securing the second seed in the playoff round.[21] The team then beat Norway in the quarterfinals before suffering consecutive losses to Scotland and Switzerland in the semifinal and bronze medal game, finishing fourth.[22]
