OT here we come!

Or after scoring 4 in the first end (and 3 in the 10th end).

That game was bananas.

Nice sportsmanship by Verbij, but it's the rule. He would have been DQed if he tried to carry on because Drubreuil had the right of way. In any case, if they were even at that point and Drubreuil was going to the inside lane and ended up 2nd, there's no way Verrbij had a chance at the podium going to the outside lane.

Oh my lord, GB. How do you give up 3?

There wasn't really anything they could do. Sweden actually did a good job to make it really hard for GB to score, GB just made some amazing shots.

Holy shit! What an end GB/SWE! Both teams making amazing shots, GB comes out way on top.

Well, Norway may have broken our shared gold medal record, but Canada tied the bronze medal record today (ROC is there, too). If a certain country is ultimately DQed from figure skating, we may have already broken it. Hey, we need this!

De Bruin in 4th after 2 runs, but significantly off the top 3. The Germans are crazy, their runs are terrible but they gain time. Great equipment.

Geez, the Germans could go down the track sideways and still be top-3.

This marks the first time a male and female Canadian earned medals in individual speed skating events since 1998. Speaking of which, Drubeuil's turn in the 500 reminded me of Jeremy Wotherspoon. Wotherspoon is one of the best sprint speed skaters of all time, earning multiple world records and world championship medals in the 500 and 1000 over several years. Yet, he had horrible Olympics, even falling once, and only has one silver in the 500 (1998). Truly one of the most prolific athletes to never get an Olympic gold in his sport. If you think missing gold after one great season is bad, imagine missing it after dominating several in a row.

I believe with Norway's gold in biathlon they've now broken the record for most golds at a WOG (previously 14).

0.4 separates 1-2, 0.42 separates 2-8.

Dubreuil makes up for his disappointment in the 500 with a surprise silver in the 1000!!!!!

I had a feeling about him in this race!

Dubreuil! I can't spell!

Silver for Dubreil!!!!!!!

Great start for the Gow Bros in biathlon.

Good game, USA. It was that magic mop after end 7.

Well, a bronze at least! Great last few ends by Canada.

Oof, steal of 2 for Canada. One more end to go!

The Canadian announcers were so sure of that last shot, too. "He just did that shot! This is money for Gushue! He makes this 9/10 times!" Yeah, he just did that shot and missed badly. Are we watching the same team this week, it's more rare for them to make shots than to miss. I feel like both skips have golds and aren't interested in this game.

Gushue had 2 shots at 3+ points and missed both. Two points is good, but I'm not exactly convinced either.

Gushue falls backwards into 2 points. Had 2 shots at 3+ and missed both.
