Swewi 306 Posted March 23, 2023 #11 Share Posted March 23, 2023 30 game wins in a row - amazing WCH streak for Tirinzoni! maestro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swewi 306 Posted March 25, 2023 #12 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Switzerland-Sweden and Norway-Canada for semi finals. Hasselborg/SWE was the last team to best Tirinzoni/SUI in a world championship game, but that was 35 games ago. I almost not want Sweden to win, just because Switzerland does not deserve to miss the final after so many wins against a team with 5 losses in this championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,642 Posted March 25, 2023 #13 Share Posted March 25, 2023 So, Sweden started 2-3 and still made the SF while Germany missed out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Rhona Martin when she won Olympic Gold started even worse than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both GB golds, 2002 and 2022 came after 5-4 in the round Robin btw when my team won the Swedish super league recently (12 teams, and semifinals). A team Starting 2-4 ended up in the final, almost winning the final Edited March 25, 2023 by Swewi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,642 Posted March 25, 2023 #16 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I don't remember the exact RR results however I have an impression curling is more competitive these days? How is looking w/o Muirhead though? I seem to recall there was a minor dust-up few years back that Muirhead got all the championship selections by default instead of some domestic prelims like they have in Canada?

There is always a bit of controversy. By default we use an established team, like Bruce Mouat in the men's. When it's an emergency - like Muirhead last season when she had to go to the last chance Olympic Quals - the authorities insisted on picking the team.

Swewi 306 Posted March 25, 2023 #18 Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) Alina Pätz on her way to her 7th (5 previous for women and 1 mixed doubles) World championship title. Amazing. But would probably need an olympic medal and a european gold to also be considered the best ever Edited March 25, 2023 by Swewi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassmarket 2,842 Posted March 26, 2023 #19 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Had a couple of good chances for decent scores, even a chance at a game winning two in the final end, but didn’t take them so the streak continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
