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;)

    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Track, there won't be much use in the team. Here, great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
    • Totallympics had  users at one point, but I haven't seen any hanging around in a while.
    • In terms of total medals, yes. In terms of golds, I’d be fine with anywhere from 6-8.   @intoronto you don’t think we’ll do better or at least the same? Bit surprising.
    • Tadeucci was very good and took bronze
    • On the Olympics I don't like to count golds to analyse the performance, I think the best data are the top8 and medals. In both fields I expect a big improvement (obviously not on the 'pure' number, but on the percentage of medal or top8 events)
    • December is probably going to be focused on either Italy/Austria or Norway, but the plans are still being made as we speak. Renting a car, driving from the Netherlands down to Italy, finding accomodations and help with preparing the skis and all that...trying to make it as an independent 'solo' athlete is...hard     I can't go and help out, because we got the keys to our house (finally) and there's lots of work to be done there, so it's all happening at the same time and the mind is getting crazy (for both of us)
