Note the scores- 6-6 so not far off what the 5-5 would have been if the US had taken 1. That's mental that after 6 and a half minutes of debating the best they could come up with was to do nothing. You would think that you have to try and block it somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Shuster being a dick again in the bronze medal game. I hope the USA win though because Canadian curling fans are absolutely full of self-entitlement. Some claiming they should be allowed to send multiple teams to the Olympics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching and hoping Canada beat the US right now. The US still being dicks at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian1 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 With the current interest being shown by the public and the great performances of the Scottish teams it would be great if the BBC or ITV could do a deal for coverage of the world championships in the next couple of months (women - Mar, Men - April) It cant be expensive and would fill hours of day-time schedules (womens in Canada and mens in Vegas) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they said who’s being selected to play for Scotland? Traditionally the following system was in place: - In any non winter Olympic year, the Scottish championship winning team goes to the worlds - In a winter Olympic year, the Olympic team is ineligible to play the Scottish championships as they clash with one another, so the Scottish championship winner plays best of three against the Olympic team (In 2018 both Olympic teams lost, but that was where team Mouat first emerged. I think Muirhead’s team were just fatigued from Pyeongchang because they lost to a pretty hopeless rink) However, that has now been scrapped and Scottish Curling just selects a team, with the only rule being they must have entered the Scottish championship. If you enter it and then drop out to play the Olympics, you remain eligible. So, Mouat and Muirhead are both eligible along with all of the teams playing in the Scottish championship which starts on Monday. On the men’s side I think they’ll offer it to Mouat if he wants it but he might opt for a rest after a very long season, particularly if they win the gold medal tomorrow. If he does choose to sit it out then Ross Whyte (Mouat’s alternate who’s own team are top 10 in the world) or Ross Paterson (who’s team are funded as part of the elite curling programme) would be in a good position to get the berth. On the women’s side I’m not even sure Muirhead will be offered the spot. I think they’ll opt to look at some younger skips and start planning for the next Olympics. The team that is favourite for the Scottish championship is skipped by Rebecca Morrison and consists of the four elite funded curlers who missed out on selection for Beijing, so I think they might get the consolation prize of a spot in the worlds, especially if they win next week’s Scottish championship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingscot Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) Yeah, that's a shocker of a start. Eve's final stone was horrendous. It's not fatal, just need to get a 2 back and chip away. Edited February 18, 2022 by flyingscot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Japan force Switzerland to settle for a 1-0 lead. I’d really like to see that Japanese team make the final, got a lot of time for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
