I want literally everyone at Curling Canada to be fired.

A public execution may be needed.

 

I'm sick of Canadian announcers talking about the world catching up.  No one forced Jones to miss that easy shot in the Swiss game to lose.  No one forced her team to miss 8 shots in a row against China.  No one made the mixed doubles forget how to play curling suddenly.  They just played badly.  A 15 year old at the local rink could have made those shots.

For the second time in a row  fails to make the playoffs in women’s curling. Fundamental change to how the sport is run in Canada has to happen ASAP. We just aren’t competitive in curling anymore (forget not being the best), and that’s not acceptable given we have more than 90% of all players in the world.

I find it so fascinating how the Swiss team decided to totally regroup and reformat after a disappointing 2018. That's what Canada needs to stay competitive here. One quad where an underperformance is a miss another is a problem. They need to rebuilt the system - the same old is not working.

Yeah, but you’ve got all the pétanque players.  Just need to convert a few (easy enough) & get them off the pastis (very difficult).
