Bottcher will coach Team Homan towards the next Olympic quad, and will also play mixed doubles with Rachel Homan. Rachelle Brown will also now be a permanent team member. Not really happy about the first two updates… I like Homan but with a partner like Bottcher I can’t root for them. Can’t believe I’m saying this but hopefully they have a really disappointing 2024-25 season that’ll make them rethink the first part of the update…

Pescia, the technical director of all Italian national curling teams, has decided to retire and end his career with this season.

the WCF rankings may come into play for the mixed doubles qualifier. I was trying to gauge countries position coming into the season but I cannot reproduce the ranking totals that they have. For instance Norway has a score of 66.791 but achieved better than 75% of the possible points each year but one, so even logically I can't get my head around what they are doing.

Both teams rocking Swedish uniforms, and then there’s Wranå with a pink knitted headband and a white puffercoat jacket, I love it

I have not been able to watch so much, but from what I saw today the games were not so good. Or what do you say? Maybe difficult ice, the ice had started to melt last weekend but I practed next to Hasselborg at the same rink earlier this week and it seemed to be good ice despite the problems. But a lot of curl, which of course these player should handle.
