Kelly Scott's run to victory at the 2007 World Women's Curling Championship in Aomori, Japan has vaulted Canada into top position on the World Curling Federation's World Curling Rankings System.

Canada now has 1020 points to Sweden's 1012, while third-place United States has vaulted up two positions with 776 points.

In Aomori, 2006 triple-crown winner Anette Norberg of Sweden struggled to a 6-5 record, while U.S. skip Debbie McCormick finished two positions lower than her 2006 effort, taking fourth place with a 7-4 record.

Denmark's Angelina Jensen was the surprise of the week with her team's silver-medal finish, but her country did not move in the Rankings, and continues to sit in seventh place.

Nations dropping one placement include Switzerland and Japan, while Norway, which failed to qualify for the women's words, dropped two places.
