Curling 2021 - 2022 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

: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.

"A fifth player/alternate will be added to the men’s team at a later date"

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)

@Sindo is there not a separate thread of the OQT ?

 

Also :TUR beat :GBR in the women's event, what a shocking result.

 

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.

    • Two passings to mention.   Uljana Semjonova  age 73.  Twice a gold medalist in basketball for   in 1976 and 1980.  Her height was listed between 2.10 to 2.13 m.  She is the tallest woman ever to win an Olympic gold medal.   Jim Hartung   age 65.  He was a member of the US gymnastics team that won the gold medal in 1984.
    • Worth to add, if Klaudia Adamek will qualify after all, she will become first Polish athlete who did compete in both Summer and Winter Olympics.
    • Linda Weiszewski and Klaudia Adamek will compete in this week in both European and World Cup to save their place in Olympics and make a debut for Poland in womens events, since they are now last among qualifiers as far as I know, since Jamaica got second quota in 2 womens event yesterday.
    • And I missed that  Andžāne is still vulnerable; seven best scores total only 484  but 7th is a 28 so should be able to improve as last two results were both 110 points worth
    • Broke down some numbers of what is still in doubt: For 3 sleds men and women are done. For two sleds there is no competition left in men's (  doesn't enter a WC race and secures two?) but in women's its  Erlacher vs  Channel and Erlacher needs to finish probably four positions ahead in final WC race.   For one sled, in men's, Takahashi or  Yaw will have to enter a EC or WC race for the first time this year, or it is over. Even if they do they have to gain about 50 points over their current 7th best result, so they would need to score about 100. So men's probably done, unless  Buff does not compete again, even then he could still make it.   The women's final few placements could be chaotic and will really depend on who decides to race where on the final weekend. Looking at current 7 best results  Schmied has 492,  Johansen has 493,   Delka has 524, and  Burger has 538. For Delka to miss out then the lower two need to both finish top 20 in a WC or I think top 7 in a EC. They both have a 7th best score of 36 they have to improve on, and who knows if Delka will race one more time or not.
    • will have 5 representatives in Luge at the 2026 Olympics.      Jozef Ninis (Top pic) in the M Singles will compete at his 6th consecutive WOG !!! He debuted in Torino 2006 to close the circle in another Italian resort in 2026, by this he set the new Slovak Winter Olympic record of participation and tie the all time one with Erik Vlček competing at 6 games in Sprint Canoeing as well.   The remaining quartet (Pic 2) will debut at the Olympics, all still Juniors Christián Bosman & Bruno Mick in the M Doubles and still schoolgirls Viktória Praxová & Desana Špitzová in the olympic premiere of the W Doubles     Must also be said, that we were quite unlucky in this qualifiers periode, Marián Skupek missed the second M Singles quota by 1 point and ended first non-qualified athlete and the experienced doubles Vaverčák/Zmij which was in clear qualifying position ended the season after Vaverčák injured his knee in the training before the Sigulda race 2 weeks ago   Also for the first time no W Singles participation for us meaning also obviously no participation in the Mixed Relay competition for the first time as well   Team (Updated as of 12th January 2026) 40 Athletes (30 M + 10 W)    
    • Hypothetically she could meet the minimum standards still with a high placement in the NAC event tomorrow. Seems unlikely to me, but still possible.
