Fantastic bronze medal game! Start to finish, it was incredibly entertaining. Props to Slovakia! That was the best curling match I've watched in a while of any variation. Despite the score, it came down to the two shots, last shot really. In the end, I'm glad I got to watch this match because I'll be out during the gold medal game tomorrow. So, you know, it suits my schedule better.

Wow, what a finish! Do not let the final score fool you, that whole game, especially the last two ends came down to the wire. It literally came down to the last shot! Fantastic game! Congrats to Slovakia on an amazing game! Well done!

AMAZING SHOT FROM THUSTON IN THE 8TH!

Fantastic bronze medal curling match going on. Go Canada!

I get livestreams on yt from China. When I use a VPN and am "in" a Western country I do not. if you go to the paralympic site you might be able to find something (I can't go there now bc I'm "in" Canada so I can watch curling on CBC).

This is a totally unfair and insulting comparison. Canada's women didn't even make the playoffs. If anything, this team's results mirror the men's team's results. Heads are going to roll at Curling Canada.

Anyway, the positives: Three more medals for Canada! Hockey team beats Korea convincingly and will play for gold on Sunday!

I hate to be the outside judging professional athletes, but not only is Canada playing incredibly badly, their decisions are ....... perplexing. China sitting shot rock? Better shoot to the other side and not be shot rock. China lays a second shot rock? Better shoot again to the other side and still not sit shock rock. I started believing there was a strategy, that they would eventually go for all those Chinese rocks..... but they didn't. Steal of 2 for China. I just don't get it.

Looks like Canada will play for bronze tonight. China making the shots look easy, Canada struggling besides those two nice shots last end.

Thurston comes back with two beauties to score 2 in the 4th. 4-3 China.

Canada with three straight huge misses, down 3 after 3 ends in the semis.

Also curling will have the semis and final tomorrow, so good chance there as well. Hockey semi against Korea, too. Big day! Edit: The schedule I was looking at was wrong. Curling will have semis and bronze medal game tomorrow. Gold game will be on Saturday. Let's hope Canada plays Saturday.

That was a fantastic game, especially the last 2 ends. Thurston with absolute clutch shots in both those last two ends to get the win. Props to Norway, they almost took it. Yay, playoffs!

Clutch shot from Thurston to win the game! Woooo!

Well, they won. Hopefully they carry it on tonight. Good start so far.

Another easy miss. Thurston needs to take a rest, I think. The last 3 games have been terrible for him.

I seriously need to stop watching curling. It's just....

Another gold for McKeever!!!

Some Sobey's marketing worker is getting a raise.

Another gold for Wilkie! After a bronze for Cameron!

I swear to god our curlers are trying to lose. Even after another bad game, an easy draw to tie in the 8th, comes up way short. They won't even make the playoffs now in all likelihood. I'm going to not watch the next game and see what happens.

And Canada gives up 4 in the 6th end. Absolute shitshow. Korea runs their stones through the house, miss everything and Canada still manages to give up points. Apparently the rot of Curling Canada has spread everywhere.

Apparently I have to stop watching curling because Canada has absolutely sucked the last two games, the only ones I've watched.

Pretty ridiculous that they don't even show the last shot of the game. On replay it looked pretty good. GG Sweden.

I live in Beijing, and the weather has taken quite a sudden turn. It is quite beautiful and warm during the day now. Spring is here. Still cold at night, though.
