Curling ???? No medals

[farmaholic]

Just like Drama Boy, Canadian athletes think they are better than rest of the world. Nice to see reality bite them in the ass. Still hasn't hit Dumbo.

Don't worry. Ya'll get to witness the waste of taxpayers dollars again in two more years.

You mean curling, skiing, louge, and snowboarding is a waste of tax dollsrs, I thought the last three were careers!

I'm not a big fan of jen jones, but she would have easily won, she can handle the pressure, Holman was all nerves, with very little confidence.

Koe and gang are professionals not your men's Saturaday league. Koe curls 12 months a year in the most competitive money bonspials in the world. He may have a bad game once and awhile but the way he curled against the USA in both games was pretty bad.

They choked as they came back medal-less the excuse of pressure or curling Gods is weak!

Well put Brave. On any given day anyone can beat anyone. Lots of times it how u and your team feel. The vibe u get from the arena, the mindset u come with. Lots more to it than throwing, sweeping or coaching. We have so many good ones that we play ourselves out before we get there.

If you've ever curled much you know that's just how curling goes. Curling Gods are the cruelest. Because curling is 99% mental, it doesn't take much of the wrong thinking or negative reaction to pressure throw you off just a bit.

With Rach, she could have been pulled early. Jennifer Jones was there. Kaitlyn Lawes was there. Cheryl Bernard and Colleen Jones could have jumped up, instant team.

The middle of Koe's team seemed to leave him a lot of tough shots. But it's curling. It happens. New tee shirts should read, "curling happens".

Curling in the US though? Ha.my ND neighbours 12 miles straight south of me have played and beat John Shuster lots, as well as beating Pete Fenson. Nowadays they come here to Killarney to curl as the curling clubs down there are all closed or closing.

The irony was that not many gave Kaitlyn and Johnny Mo a chance because of mixed doubles inexperience coupled with John's type A personality. But, they won and the favourites failed.

A lesson for next time.

The Olympic committee appoints coach .Need to give it back to curlers. U.S.is promoting curling at the base level with more recreational curling.
