Turns out that I don't really enjoy junior curling. Tactics are just boring, as teams are not willing to take risks, even when they are behind on scoreboard.

 

Well, that's why I wanted to kill my skip a few weeks ago during our league game - no risk at all (and he is already far from being junior, in fact me too, but I have only a little bit over a year of experience on ice). So it's not a matter of age, rather lack of self-confidence.

 

I feel some way of understanding to the Slovenian lead - one too strong, another too weak, another missed by a few milimeters - like I'd seen myself. (So I can say I'm at Olympic level :p )

The most common ways have to do with the shooting. For example going out on the loop with a bullet still in your rifle. One could also seriously hinder another competitor, go out on the course with a rifle that's not properly marked by officials beforehand or firing more than five rounds in one shooting bout in an individial, mass start, pursuit or sprint - that last happened to Taynara in her debut race, where she thought she could use spare munitions :p

Another common one is trying to clear your foresight when you still have a round in the chamber!  :hyper:  Sounds stupid, but people do it all the time.  
 

Also shooting a competitor.

Looking straight into the rifle isn't the best idea, is it, @brunamoura?

 

I nearly got a heart attack when I saw her do that in Arber two seasons ago.

@hckosice Jancova misses a medal by 0.02 :cry:. She’ll have a very small chance in the GS and Slalom.

    • I’ll start first;   Obviously,  @brunamoura in cross country skiing if she qualifies  (no pressure)    Curling:  Team Hasselborg and Team Edin,  Kaldvee/Lill, and to a lesser extent  Team Fujisawa and  Team Schwaller Ice Hockey:  Sweden men’s team,  Arturs Silovs/Teddy Blueger, whichever Canucks are on  United States’ men’s team, and  Finland’s men’s team if Lankinen can keep up his good play (Even though he’s probably going to get traded from the Canucks after this season, he prefers being on a team where he can get more starts than more money. Still I have a soft spot for him) Alpine Skiing:  Marco Odermatt,  Aleksandr Aamodt Kilde Freestyle Skiing:  Jakara Anthony,  Birk Ruud,  Sina Sigenthaler,  Andri Ragettli Snowboarding:  Leon Ulbricht,  Marcus Kleveland,  Anna Gasser Speed Skating:  Jutta Leerdam,  Jordan Stolz Luge:  Thomas Steu/Wolfgang Kindl,  Tobias Wendl/Tobias Arlt   From a Canadian perspective, I’m rooting for our men’s hockey team above all. Then, our curling teams, especially Team Homan if she wins Olympic Trials. Then Max Parrot, Mikael Kingsbury, Eliot Grondin, William Dandjinou, our women’s hockey team, and our ski cross squad. But really I’ll be rooting for all of our athletes.

    • I disagree, the Christiansen hit on Kuzmenko was as clean as can be, why would you try to start a fight after that? Honestly, I find it a little pathetic and soft from Pospisil, but maybe that’s just me…
