And I think that would be a major major blow. 2022 was already outside of curling a big step back and while results in other sports have been promising since and showing sevreal medal potentials Curling going so far backwards would be a big issue. Particularly as it takes up so much broadcast time and with the games in Italy they will be more focus. Edited March 19 by Orangehair43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scottish men are current world champions and 3-time European champions whilst the mixed doubles pairing of Dodds and Mouat were 5th in most recent world champs. I'd also point out that Eve Muirhead won precisely 0 world medals in the Beijing Olympic cycle ... but yeah sure, Scottish curling is going so far backwards.

Rafa Maciel 1,259 Posted March 31 #100 Share Posted March 31 Mouat and the team never really got their game together as they went down to 8-4 loss at the hands of . They didn't necessarily play badly, it's just that by some fine margins, the big shots didn't go their way. Hopefully they'll pick themselves up ahead of match against this evening.
