How did Team USA allow curlers already on the men’s and women’s teams to do mixed doubles? Seems to devalue that event as an afterthought imo.

Wikipedia says the stones just need to weigh between 38 and 44 pounds. That's a huge amount of potential variation. Even if you targeted 42 lbs, the granite would have variation in density. What do they do if a stone is over/under weight?

Leperflesh posted:I honestly don't understand your point. In both summer and winter olympics, competitors are permitted to, and frequently do, compete in multiple events. Including both individual and team events. Why are you singling out curling to be different? Curling is primarily a team event. If countries allow someone from the team event to play in mixed doubles, then the strongest team basically gets another free medal. However, if you don’t send your strongest players, like what the US did, then you’re basically saying the event doesn’t matter to you.

How is the US so bad at curling? Minnesota alone has 5.5 million people which is slightly more than Norway.

I was surprised to see the Norwegian women's team isn't playing, nor did they play in 2014, which is making me crazy since Kristin Skaslien looks super familiar and I obviously wouldn't have seen her at the Scotties.

This OAR team is horrendous. How do you not do a hit and roll for 2? Instead you just needed a draw inside the 12 foot and came up short.

Holy poo poo, Japanese skip with an awful throw. Simple hit and roll for 3 and they hit the high guard letting USA steal for 1. They could be up 11-4 and the game would be over.

Muirhead really struggling. Missed her final stone in end 1 that cost GBR a second point and again in end 3 that gave USA an second point. lol GBR flashed another. First and Second have both done it this game now.
