Well, in Poland we also have a reason to celebrate - our men go to Division A for the first time in history. Probably we won't do much more than Slovaks did this year, but still we are in great euphory.

Our top team is focusing on the Olympic qualification, but it is surely worrying that our 2nd best team isn't even good enough for the B division!

 will be represented by Val Sweeting / Brad Gushue (Olympic Gold medalist 2006) or Kaitlyn Lawes (gold medalist in 2014) and John Morris (gold medalist in 2010) in the mixed doubles in Pyeongchang.

Three pieces of news:

• Lawes/Morris will represent  in the mixed doubles in Pyeongchang
•  is expected to make its debut at the next world mixed doubles championships 
• Also will challenge  for the last spot in the men's worlds this year. Possibly the biggest mismatch in sport this year?
