I had not heard that! That's quite something to finish second at the Scotties and then tell your team to gently caress off. She's really good though and that team is insane although I'm not sure how four skips are going to all play together without some major fights or taking up all the time on the clock.

Teams changing up their Facebook pages is how the news came out. There was an official statement that followed, but that was the first indication. At least that's what the real die-hards over at Curling Zone say.

As for other changes, I'm thinking Team Homan has a bit of a shakeup coming. I'll guess that one of either Miskew or Weagle leave for personal/professional reasons, or maybe Courtney just gets punted. I'm not quite sure how they're getting by the residency requirement with both Homan and Courtney living in Alberta, maybe that's what ends up doing it.

Feels like the US should have gotten more than one in the 5th, of course it also feels like they were really lucky to get one.

Canada's going to have their best olympics ever by medal count and the media is still gonna say the whole squad sucked because they didn't get any curling or hockey golds.

Jesus, I was listening at the gym when this started two and a half hours ago. Did curling turn into baseball or something?? The first end went so quickly too

An added blow to Canada losing is there's no way I can stay up to watch the bronze medal game tonight after waking up for 6 AM, and then also be able to work tomorrow.

Ninth end of Switzerland - GBR. Amazing shot from Schwartz on the last rock of the end.

Going back to watch this now and wow, the Swiss were pretty bang on the whole end. Pretty amazing stuff.
