Let’s go! 
 

 Team Jacobs beat the cheaters  Team Zhichao in the semifinals, and are going for gold in the men’s final against  Team Shuster

 

Blatant burning of rocks doesn’t sit well with me at all, hope they go home without a medal

Looks like Eurovision Sport has the whole of the Grand Slam series, the first time it has ever been broadcast internationally.  This week we are in Lake Tahoe, where both my brother and the Corleone Family in the Godfather movies have a house. 

 

Already in progress, but the TV Coverage starts overnight Euro time.

Things not clicking yet for Team Edin  - just seen them give up a 5  on the 7th end to team McEwan .  Long way to go yet, but the old air of perfection just not there.

For the first time in 20 years, John Shuster will not be representing the  in curling.  His team lost the US Olympic Trials last night against Team Casper, made up of younger men who watched Shuster as they grew up.  It was a Best of 3 series, and apparently Team Shuster had a habit of losing Game 1...but this time, after losing Game 1 and winning Game 2, the magic finally wore off.  Hopefully Team Casper will be able to snag one of the two spots remaining at the OQE coming soon!

 

(Had Shuster won the trials, and had the US qualified, then he would be the sole curler to have competed in 6 Olympics..instead, he's tied with one other curler at 5.)
