Bankes eliminated in the quarterfinals. Just like the mixed doubles curling, that's two Games in a row she's not performed after being a medal favourite.

Worth noting that the two people who narrowly qualified ahead of her went on to pretty comfortably go 1/2 in each of their other races, including the final.

 

I'm sure she's more disappointed than anyone, but going out in the QF might not have been a fair reflection on her form generally, given how the other races went.

Yeah, Charlotte got screwed by Baff messing up in her seeding run, which was why that first QF was so stacked.

Hopefully Charlotte and Huw can regroup in the team event.

I'd add if there's any criticism to go towards Charlotte, she didn't have a particularly clean seeding run herself. On another day she gets away with it, but today wasn't that day.
