Congrats to :AUS for making it in the doubles curling.  Maybe all the other curling teams will suddenly fall down on the final stone and Australia will sneak in for the win!

You laugh but someone falling down while celebrating and knocking over a stone has decided a curling world championship before.

Lineup for the Canadian Olympic trials, to be concluded on January 2nd. The athletes who's name are stricken are not competing because they are a non-alternate member of the men's or women's team and were replaced by their partner. In the case of Peterman / Gallant since both athletes qualified their team was replaced by ranking.

 

  • Jocelyn Peterman / Brett Gallant
  • Jennifer Jones Selena Njegovan / Brent Laing
  • Nancy Martin / Tyrel Griffith
  • Rachel Homan / John Morris
  • Kerri Einarson / Brad Gushue Brad Jacobs
  • Kadriana Sahaidak / Colton Lott
  • Lisa Weagle / John Epping
  • Laurie St-Georges / Félix Asselin

Gotta love throwing stones with a cigarette in his mouth.  I can understand why this wasn't an Olympic sport until the 90s now.

I'm not too familiar with mixed curling, but I'd imagine Morris/Homan are the favourites here.  They were both in Pyeongchang and Morris is a double Olympic gold medalist (in mens and mixed doubles).  While Homan flamed out in Korea, she's won multiple national and world medals.  I think Einarson and Jacobs will challenge them, though.  But who knows, this is a very unpredictable event that isn't really competed by most of these curlers.  I really look forward to watching over the holidays.

Agree . Would bet on Peterman/Gallant but they can of course not play since they will play men/women.

 

I would say most curlats play mixed doubles nowadays but maybe just once a year. And Everyone can win in mixed doubles, Even I defeated Morris once;)

    • WWE introduced two new Women's Championship belts. The first one introduced was the Women's United States Championship and not shortly after that the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Women's US Title will be exclusive to SmackDown and the Women's IC Title will be exclusive to RAW.
    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
