Guess what? There’s been yet another instance of  Team Xu cheating, this time in the quarterfinals against  … 

 

 

 

They didn’t benefit from it (luckily), but it’s the principle of it happening again that frankly has me pissed off at the fact that they not only made it this far, but are one win away from qualifying for the Olympics, the sport on the biggest stage. Curling has no room for cheaters and I hope World Curling does something about it. 

I wonder if you know the rule of curling. It's not cheating, it's accident. Chinese kicked it for sure, but Norwegian are not blind. they have the right to choose accept the present situation as it is or cancel this shot whichever they think benefit them. Apparently Norway noticed this kick and negociate with China with some short time, and they finally chose to accept the present situation as it favored them more rather than restitution.

China and bending the rules in sport, name a more iconic duo

I think your comment might be clouded in bias. First of all, I don’t appreciate that you’re trying to tell me I don’t know the rules of curling, especially considering I most probably watch it and understand it more than you do, but thanks. I’m a member of a few curling forums/sites and they all generally agree with me. No, the Chinese team knew what they were trying to do on this instance. And even if they weren’t, it’s happened way too many times now to be looked at as an “accident” (that kicked rocked in the Germany game was blatant, and they were still denying it), I’ve noticed it twice already and I’ve probably missed some of the other infractions. Could be because of the favourable outcome, or maybe it was to avoid further arguments. Even if was the first one, choosing to accept the result still doesn’t cancel out China’s cheating. 
 

Maybe the other users who frequently watch curling can share their thoughts down below though, I’d love to get more viewpoints on it.

Of course I know you know the rules as you initiate this thread. Just because your lecture tone and treating china's opponents idiots and forcibly and passively accept the status quo makes me laughable.
