Congratulations to Switzerland! 

 

Canadian curling was a disaster this Olympics.  This is what happens when you get complacent and cocky.  I was at the semis and Koe's rink looked totally discombobulated and disjointed.  CBC had an article about how the rest of the world is catching up to Canada in curling, which is true to a point.  But Canada's mens and womens were also just terrible here.  I witnessed a stone that was 10 feet short of the hog line last night, which should never happen at the adult level, never mind at the Olympics semi-finals level.  And that was shortly after another 10 foot short miss.  That wasn't because the USA got better over the years, that's because Canada thought all they had to do was show up and collect their medals.

Steal of 1 for the USA, taking the lead.

 

Love how commentator said that the measuring device is put in the exact middle of the ring (because that's impossible ).

I do love how they added mixed curling to have bigger diversity and everything, and in the end it's Canada, the only nation in the world where people actually care about it in a big way, that takes that gold, but no medal in the other events

*mixed doubles

 

Feel free to also add mixed curling to have bigger diversity, too

 

And believe me, Curling Canada is as surprised at that than anybody else.

Mixed doubles curling is mixed curling too

 

It's curling, and it's mixed --> mixed curling

Sure, but mixed curling is it's own thing with it's own world championship. It's distinct from mixed doubles.
