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

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;)

    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
    • On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
