2011 World Men's Curling Championship

The 2011 World Men's Curling Championship (branded as Ford World Men's Curling Championship 2011 presented by Richardson for sponsorship reasons) was held at the Brandt Centre in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada from April 2–10, 2011.

In the final, Jeff Stoughton skipped the Canadian rink to a 6–5 victory over Scotland's Tom Brewster, who was playing in his first World Championship. Scotland took the early lead, going up 3–1 after four ends, thanks to successful double and triple take outs. Stoughton picked out a Scottish stone in the four-foot in the fifth end to score three, and take a 4–3 lead into the break. After Scotland tied the game in the sixth, Canada blanked the seventh, with Stoughton showing off his 360 degree "spin-o-rama" delivery on his last, as it was only a throw-through. In the eighth, Canada scored a deuce, thanks to a draw to the button for Stoughton, taking a 6–4 lead. In the 9th, Brewster was wide on his takeout attempt for two, settling for a single, to trail 6–5 heading into the final end. In the 10th, Brewster was light on his final rock, and Stoughton didn't have to throw his final rock, as victory had been assured. The gold medal was Stoughton's second and Canada's 33rd gold medal at the world. A sellout crowd of 5,854 spectators attended the game.

Sweden's Niklas Edin rink won the bronze medal over Norway's Thomas Ulsrud, 7–6. This broke a seven year medal-less streak for Sweden.
