Despite being set to take over the world No.1 mixed doubles curling ranking, Australian duo Tahli Gill and Dean Hewitt still face a major challenge to book at spot at their second Winter Olympics.
The pair won an historic bronze medal at this year's world championships in Canada in May and have since hit a golden patch, topping the podium in tournaments in Bern and Gstaad, where they collected an iconic goat-shaped trophy.
The recent run of results will see them leap-frog Estonia in the world rankings next week into the top spot.
