In for Kaitlyn Lawes in mixed doubles!

Also Joanne Courtney (second for Homan) is a delightful person. Rachel herself is not as pleasant to be around.

Pat Simmons is also good people.

USA starts with KOREA-ITALY-SWEDEN

3-0 no problem

USA wont beat sweden

You shut your wh*** mouth

Feel like Korea is usually ok too

US team is in danger of losing to any country that has ice

Lot of haters I can't hear

Reflect on all that mankind has accomplished and then realize this is an olympic sport

I should ban your ass for trolling this blessed thread. Get down on your knees and beg for Shustahhhhhh's forgiveness

https://youtu.be/yNgB9jzgBbo?t=11180

Literally like missing a wide open layup at the buzzer.

Lol that's such a huge choke

Meh, maybe it picked. Picking that rock is a shot that top players make >90% of the time, but by no means is it automatic.

feel like that's the wrong weight to throw there.

edit- They sweep it right out of his hand, can't imagine it picked on anything.

No it's just a complete choke. Seriously.

Wrong weight? It was probably his peel weight, you want to throw max weight at that.

Shustaaaaa coming in to win a gold would be one of the greatest American Olympic triumphs of all time.

bump. Competition's starting and you supposed Curling fans arent even here for it

With no Shustahhh we might have a shot at this event

Mixed doubles, but notorious choker John Morris is choking

edit: What a shot by Morris

This brother-sister team is awesome

john morris is not impressing me

Swedish woman just pulled a SHUSTAHHHHHHHH

Oof Canadian woman choked as well on the final shot. Was just to force Extras and with the setup of Mixed Doubles, it seems pretty impossible to steal, but it's nice to see the SHUSTAHHHHHHing in full effect before he even takes the ice.

WE GOT CONTROVERSY

Two rocks very close in the 8th (and final, lol mixed doubles, this is not the best form of curling) end. As they were moving the shot rock out of the way, Switzerland alleges that China moved the stone that was debatable for second shot, they go to the officials, the officials demand that they players figure it out for themselves.
