Yeah, the irony is that many nations can become strong just by sponsoring a small core of professional players even without large numbers further down the pyramid.

We had an Olympic effect with Torini 2006, the curling mania, and it's surge again after Beijing gold medal. It's a great moment for our curling Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discussed this with my team mates during the swedish super league and we think Retornaz will win the olympic gold in 2026! Also interesting that only 1 of 8 quarter finalists in the National (the grand slam event last week) was canadian Edited November 17, 2023 by Swewi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh 6,185 Posted December 17, 2023 #17 Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) Championship finals are set at the GSOC WFG Masters! Team Retornaz will go for a 3rd consecutive GSOC title against Team Whyte in the men’s final, while Team Homan will take on Team Tirinzoni in the women’s final. Not a good day for my favourite teams, as Team Edin fell in the tiebreaker round, Team Gushue in the quarterfinals, Team Schwaller and Team Einarson in the semifinals.

Josh 6,185 Posted December 17, 2023 #19 Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) Team Homan win the women’s title at the GSOC WFG* Masters, after defeating Team Tirinzoni 8-4! Team Homan now improves to 32-4 on the season! Hopefully they can bring this form to next years Scotties (along with Worlds if they qualify) it’s been a long time since Canada’s last won a World/Olympic title in curling.
