USA commentator also said Canada advances, but unless the *times* on the live results are wrong won.

Bush league

Ok what happened there, did Canada win? Our commentators indicate they did, but the website and on-screen graphics indicate that they didn't

Mike Tirico reporting that the wind conditions are as bad if not worse tomorrow, so it had to be held today. 

This is such a sham

Now the turncoat...

Oh jeez, tough run from Meyers Taylor

Canada is going to lose this last end with the hammer in hand aren't they

I realize my preference for G-S-B when ranking the medal table will get both my and citizenships revoked :P

What's funny is how shameless the CBC is about it. I swear to god they used G-S-B in 2014 and 2018, but they're going all in on total medals this time around.

We're 14th on the medal table. That's pretty dire.

Woah woah woah I thought we measure it based on whatever method makes Canada look better  We're 3rd!

I think part of the problem is there is this big hoopla around who Canada actually sends. Some of these other teams have been appointed months in advance and practice like crazy. Homan and Morris had no idea until a month before the games.. so their level of practice would have been less than the other teams

Yep, I'm for having some sort of season-long rankings to become the representative at the Olympics as a way to ensure we get the most consistent team. With the Trials, you end up with teams like Homan who perform well in domestic competitions but always choke in the international event. 

So I guess we just suck at curling now?

So this whole competition is basically just a regular women's snowboard cross race? All 4 riders are caught up to each other within the first ~20 seconds of the course on every run. 

What a stupid event this is

Didn't look like that big of a fall for Brockhoff but she's requiring a lot of medical attention

These slow snow conditions are wreaking havoc so far, especially for the women

Damnit, if Grondin kept his board on the snow there I think he would've won it

Wow Crawford might actually do it

This world feed commentator is super obnoxious 

Wow Ledeux is upset

If Gu were competing for the US she would be an overnight international superstar.

Sorry if it was posted before. Are you sure this is the best place for a winter Olympics?

It's completely insane

Both of the teams are wearing masks during warmups this is insane.

Looks like he injured his arm not from the very first fall itself but from crashing into the nets. Are those nets safe enough? At this steep moment after the turn, they should have done better.

Yeah those are low quality fences, not the same quality as the stuff we see on the World Cup circuit..

Another choke job by Homan

Canada eliminated by less than an inch. Unreal.

 

By inch, I mean less than a centimetre.

less than a millimeter
