The Americans are actually making 74% of their shots which is third best behind Canada and Norway. So they're playing well except they miss all the important shots! And they beat Norway and Russia who are sitting second and third right now.

The Official Chicken Analysis is that they are Good curlers who are not used to mixed doubles. If that makes you guys feel better.

yeah the whole mixed format seems weird in general. it's new? so it's not established with decades of history like, pairs figure skating or something, so the only people who seem to be playing it are a. brother/sisters b. wife/husbands or c. random pairing from okay curling teams that don't know each other but wanted to play in this event. it's a niche new? ruleset in an already niche sport, not really the best way to bring out the best players.

every time it seems like swiss might be in a good spot, they're in a nightmare scenario by the time the last shot comes up

watching the canada/UK men's game is such a stellar flip from the USA/japan women's game. I always forget how loving good canadians are every time I stop watching them for a game and see everyone else with like, 40% accuracy at best

John Shuster is... good? I can't believe it.

8 years of training to not be known as a fat gently caress up while everyone's putting him down. dude's got spirit, if nothing else. I can practically root for him in the finals! :unsmith:

I'm at work and just refreshing the CBC app here and there and how are they so bad? It's like they forgot how to play.

pressure and tilt from everyone's expectations

much like the curling stones, once you start throwing you can't stop sliding
