Swewi 297 Posted February 18, 2022 #131 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Not fun to play Round robin dominant Switzerland for bronze But still well deserved by Muirhead and also happy for Fujisawa! Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a sense I agree with you but I wonder if GB really were the underdogs against Sweden. Last November the same Scotland/GB team beat the same Swedish team 8-5 in the round-Robins and 7-4 in the final of the European Championships. They then followed that up with an 8-2 win in the round-Robin in Beijing so the form line actually favoured GB. Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunadan 1,103 Posted February 18, 2022 #136 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Thankfully GBR got 2 medals so they will participate in Milano-Cortina after all. After reading the forum, I was extremely worried that they wouldn't find the money to send a few athletes for the first time in history. dcro, Ted and NearPup 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweden has been on top of / for so long that they have been really rattled by three (now four!) consecutive tournament defeats this season.

Nickyc707 305 Posted February 18, 2022 #139 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Checked through the records and the GB/Sweden aggregate score of 23 appears to be a record since the sport returned to the OG in 1998. The best previously appears to have been a couple of 21 point matches. However, at the sports only previous appearance in 1924 - only France, GB and Sweden competed - the matches were played over 18 ends rather than the current 10 and produced aggregate scores of 28, 45 and 50.

Griff88 1,735 Posted February 19, 2022 #140 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Call it stereotyping or whatever, but I love watching the Japanese team... Watching the SF replay and I can't stop thinking "ah kawaii" hckošice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
