Could you send it through the red guard just short of the house and the yellow stone top 8 foot and have it rub off the yellow left 8 foot just above the T line? Or maybe just rub off the yellow stone top 8 foot.

Alternatively, peel weight into the 3 yellow stones left 8 foot.

Maybe you could make that draw but the margin for error is so tight, 95% of the time you'll just tap the American rock in farther and leave the US an open draw for 5.

The big takeout is really hard because that high guard is covering some of it and you'd need to remove two American rocks and roll (ideally) behind the center guards. Not impossibly hard but if you roll out it's real bad.

The shot he called was to hit the open one and roll onto the American one next to it which would have been pretty good if he had made it. I liked hitting that same one and rolling behind the center guards but they decided against it for some reason.

Basically it all comes down to risk/reward. He called a slightly easier shot to try and force the US to one which would have been a great result. Instead he messed up and gave the Americans 5!

I'm expecting great things to close out this year's Olympic curling. That crowd is going to be insane.

Wonder if Team Shuster is going to attend so they can swap medals.

"Steak" is a terrible nickname

Has Korea ever really played from behind in any of their games? Wondering about their ability to stage a comeback in the later ends if Sweden is just defending a lead.

Ugh, this is why I don't get emotionally invested in sports. I'm always let down.

The way Sweden is playing, 4-1 after the 5th end is basically game over.
