    Probably, you only have to stretch out one leg before competitions. :hihi: I am worried the French look pretty flexible.

    Uh Oh we have some USA Curling drama..

    Shuster was voted off the rotation today. Team leader to the bench. Lesson for curling enthusiast is Don't drop the hammer in extra ends.

    Has that ever happened in a big event before? Seems kinda crazy to me. Curling is awesome though. Lots and lots of drama.

    Sounds like a 1st.

    Shuster actually put the whole team together and when they qualified for the Olympics they were given US coaches who voted to keep him out. Kind of strange given he usually plays very well but just blew it at the end. Maybe they didn't want that cloud over the team today and they ended up winning in extra ends this time.

    Going to be interesting to see what they will do with their lineup because he is way better than the alternate. Maybe keep Shuster out of the closing position.

    Have to sweep the next 4 games to have a chance at advancing.

    If curling is an Olympic event then why not other bar games like pool and darts or air hockey?

    If those sweepers are looking for work after the Olympics I am looking for somebody to clean my house

    Easy.
    Its an outdoor sport played on Ice.........

    Its game, plain and simple. I agree to call it an "athletic" sport is a bit of a stretch. But it belongs. You could make that argument about many sports in both winter and summer olympics.

    One question for any women on htis board.

    What the hell is the difference between Ice Dancing and Pairs figure skating ? Why two events. They are the same thing.
    and I think they both are miserable...


    Also congrats to Apollo. His tweet last night after the race
    "If I have given my all & still dont win, I haven't lost.Others might remember winning or losing;I remember the journey"

    Was great.... Maybe something us LSU fans should take into account sometimes.
