So far this year I was in Florida, am in Sun Peaks (BC) atm, am going to Milan, Livigno and Cortina for the Olympics and will be in Kitchener the week after the Olympics.

 

(and for context I live in Seattle so)

I have a family member who lives in Kitchener. I've spent lots of time there. I was supposed to spend this past New Years there, but got sick instead. 

 

Since we're bragging about travel, I went to Hawai'i and French Polynesia this past summer; Aruba, Barbados, St. Kitts and St. Lucia in December, and will go all over South America this summer (watching WC games in Argentina will be fun!). But I'm staying put here in Guatemala for the Games.

Just arrived in Milan. Going to head to “Canada house” to watch the Canada vs. Czechia mixed doubles curling :D

I thought Canada didn't have a "House" this year? CBC misled me. 

 

I visited Canada House in PyeongChang and it was amazing. Got to rub shoulders with the women's hockey team after their gold medal game. Unfortunately, they lost. The only time they've lost this century. And I was there. The only time. Awesome. But anyway, Canada House was loads of fun.

Of note, Jeffery Read finished 10th in the first training run of men's downhill!

The Game!!!

 

Inspired by the Team GB club during the 2024 Olympics, I though this would be another fun way to keep track of the games. The game is simple. Every day, I'll post a few questions in the opening post of each thread and if you're playing, you post your answers to the questions below. Whoever gets the most questions right at the end of the Olympics wins. You can change your answers as many times as you like as long as the first event hasn't begun.

 

1. Curling: Which Canadian curler will curl at a higher percentage in the game against Czechia? (Jocelyn Peterman or Brett Gallant)

2. Snowboarding: Which Canadian will place highest in qualification? (Eli Bouchard, Francis Jobin, Mark McMorris, Cameron Spalding)

3. Ice Hockey: Who will score the first goal against Finland? (You can view the roster here. If you don't think Canada will score a goal, please specify)

Less than 2 hours left to get your answers in if you want to play. Great to see 9 participants so far.

 

You are welcome to join at any time through the Olympics even if you don't submit any answers for the first day.

Lights out in the curling venue

Is it only for me, but is the CBC feed freezing and jumping around a lot?

That’s why I put it in quotations because there isn’t but all of us Canadian fans created a what’s app group and have taken over a pub to all watch together ahha. Up to 300 of us now

Peterman/Gallant steal 4 and take a commanding 5-0 lead over Czechia heading into the 3rd end!
