:CAN Men's Olympic Trials :IOC

 

Gushue won the battle of the Brads. After a very well curled game the ninth and tenth ends were filled with errors, and Gushue was able to take advantage to win 4-3.

 

2006 Olympic champions Brad Gushue (skip) and Mark Nichols (third) will go to their second Olympics, sixteen years after their first. Brett Gallant (second) and Geoff Walker (lead) will both go to their first Olympics. The foursome are the defending bronze medallists at the Olympic trials (Gushue also finished third at Olympic trials as an alternate in 2013), two time Canadian champions (2017 and 2018) and one time World champions (2017).

 

It's currently unclear if Jeff Thomas, who was Team Gushue's alternate at trials, will be the team's alternate at the Olympics. Jeff Thomas is a long time coach for Team Gushue and isn't an elite curler anymore, though he competes in senior tournaments.

Speaking of which, Lisa Weagle (team Jones alternate) is in this COC tweet and article announcing the Olympic team but Jeff Thomas isn’t.

I know there is going to be an alternate, it just looks like it likely won’t be the alternate Team Gushue had at trials (like how Team Homan used a different alternate at trials and at the Olympics)

Thank you for information. U only see in curling live results that matches are interrupted.

What is ice plant? Google shows me only some flower as result, but i have strong doubt that due to it there would need matches interrupted :-D

Plant can also mean factory, so Id assume the system that makes the ice and keeps it cool.

In English we say “electricity plant, power plant, nuclear plant”. “Plant” can also just mean mechanical - as opposed to human - resources in general.
