:CAN Team Homan wins the GSOC Canadian Open title, after defeating :SUI Team Tirinzoni 5-4! :thumbup:
 

Team Homan was down 2-4 heading into the 8th end, after giving up a steal in the 7th (missed an attempt for the blank), but rallied to score 2 in the 8th end, and stole in the extra end after a Patz miss. 
 

For skip Rachel Homan, it’s her 15th career GSOC title (15-10 in finals), and second this year after winning the WFG Masters (also coincidentally over Team Tirinzoni) just over a month ago! Homan improves her H2H over Silvana Tirinzoni to 22-8, with 8 wins in their last 9 meetings dating back to April 27, 2019 at the GSOC Championships Cup. Team Homan is now 33-5 on the 2023/24 season, in the 7 events they competed in they’ve made 6 finals, and won 5 titles, with the only loss being at the GSOC KIOTI National to Team Gim (lost 6-7)

 

Despite all of Homan’s slam success though (2 at Tour Challenge, 2 at The National, 4 at Masters, 3 at Canadian Open, 4 at Champions Cup), she still hasn’t won the GSOC Players Championship title :yikes:, hopefully she can do it this year :fingers:

Whole bunch of National Championships are going on right now. 
 

:USA Nationals finished half a week ago, with Team Peterson and Team Shuster winning the women’s and men’s titles. 
 

So did the :SWE Nationals, where Team Hasselborg and Team Nyman (Team Edin was absent) won the women’s and men’s titles. 
 

:SUI Nationals are on currently, live stream here

 

But the big one is, :CAN Women’s Nationals in a week. I’ll try my best to find a stream for the event, but I’m not very optimistic that I’ll eventually find one.

Whenever BBC Scotland cover domestic curling, it is always done on a shoestring budget. It really is cringe worthy. 

They don't really cover it, they just retransmit the feed provided them by the organisers.

      Alpine Skiing FIS World Cup 2024 - 2025

      By copravolley · Posted

      Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...

      Men's Football UEFA European Champions League 2024 - 2025

      By copravolley · Posted

      Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.

      Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything
