GOING TO THE OLYMPICS! Team Homan demolish Team Black 12-3 in game two of the best of three final after only eight ends and will wear the Team Canada jackets in Milano-Cortina, they’ve been the team to beat for years there’s no better representatives than them

Black really light on the draw for two, settles for the single. 9-3 Homan, Homan with the hammer in 7.

Yeah, still unfortunate for Black. I’m excited to see what they can do at the Scotties, wide open with Homan out, Einarson is the slight favourite but Black, Lawes, Skrlik, Sturmay could all win.

Homan applying relentless pressure forces Black to get a good piece of the four foot with the draw against five to get the single. Slides too far, steal of two. 9-2 Homan, game pretty much over.

Black attempted a runback for two but misses and gives up a steal 7-2 Homan, really closing in on an Olympic spot.

Homan with a shot for four or five, and gets a huge 4 on the board. 6-2 Homan, Black with the hammer in 4

In the end Black get two right back 2-2, Homan with the hammer in 3.

So many missed shots for Homan this end… in a lot of trouble. These performances aren’t inspiring a lot of confidence in them even if they win.

Homan opens up with a draw for the deuce. 2-0 Homan, Black with the hammer in 2.

It’s time for game two of Homan-Black, Homan one win away from making it back to her third consecutive Olympic Games.

Heo gold and Pigeon bronze in the men’s 500m, stunned

Silver for William Dandjinou in the men’s 500m

Women’s relay disappoints two weeks in a row… Well Kim Boutin isn’t here, she went back home to recover from an injury that’s been nagging at her since before the season, but even worse it looks like Flo injured her shoulder while falling down… hopefully nothing serious.

5th for Mel Lotholz, 10th for Kristen Bujnowski, and 14th for Cynthia Appiah at the Innsbruck WC! Lotholz putting together a very consistent season.

Courtney Sarault wins the women’s 1000m at the Dordrecht WC!

He ended up finishing 4th, not bad.

I refuse to pay for a Curling Channel subscription (that and I’m a broke college student) so I couldn’t watch, but Hasselborg

The WC start lists this season are a little bit weaker than previous seasons, I wonder if some are skipping these or at least some to get in some extra training.

Big Air WC Secret Garden Women Gold- Mari Fukada (156.75) Silver- Reira Iwabuchi (145.75) Bronze- Miyabi Onitsuka (141.50) Men Gold- Su Yiming (174.50) Silver- Ge Chungyu (159.50) Bronze- Ryoma Kimata (158.50) You always know when the snowboard park and pipe season starts when you see a Japanese podium sweep (although here, the only one who could’ve challenged that is Coady, there’s no Sadowski-Synott, Brookes, Gasser etc) Full Results

Crazy finish in the second women’s 1000m semifinal, Sarault passing Velzeboer for the lead and a three way battle for second.
