That mixed doubles curling match is massive if we want to get into the playoffs.

[Manhattanboy]

Holy crap are the Canadian outfits ugly. Fecal brown sleeping bags with what looks like red intestines. Who designed these awful costumes?

Must run the table and finish 6-3 or else it over i think. If 5-4 Canada currently has the worst DSC which is the tiebreaker.

This is the problem. In 6 games so far, Canada has only started with hammer once, the win over Italy.

[FireGilbert]

Wow Lindsey Vonn crashes early. So scary can hear her screaming in pain and can’t get up.

Holy hell what a crash. Both her knees have to be f’ed and hits her head too.

Helicopter rescue coming now.

[devo22]

been a heck of a comeback for her, been a wonderful story this season until the crash last week. So sad to see it end like this ... this crash didn't have anything to do with her knee either, just caught the gate with her arm. Brutal that her skies didn't come off. Just terrible.

[Tsawwassen]

Yikes, that was a scary crash. Devo22, the commentators said that the crash being so close to the start area, Vonn's speed wasn't high enough for the skis to snap off.

[Tsawwassen]

Oh no, another female skier has gone down, Cande Moreno appears to be in a lot of pain. The helicopter is coming again.

[DropIt]

Just falling apart in mixed curling

[GirlySports]

I think Canada is officially eliminated in mixed doubles

4 losses and worst DSC. With SUI beating GBR as well I don't see a scenario where Canada qualifies.

[GirlySports]

Yes, eliminated with 2 games to go. What a disaster.

[puffnstuff]

I saw that it would need Italy to lose its last two games against USA and Great Britain.
Canada would have to win its last two against Korea and Switzerland.

They must have changed it to head to head first then DSC. If so yes that is true.

[GirlySports]

Gaudet lost his QF in the parallel slalom snowboarding by 0.03 seconds, that hurts.

[transplant99]

Canada not fairing very well thus far....need someone to step up and get something unexpected to revitalize things.

That Norwegian speed skater just smoked the rest in the 5K and beat the OR by 5 seconds i believe...impressive.

[transplant99]

Vonn to undergo surgery.....they didnt specify what, but seeing that replay a couple times her left leg looked like it was doing things it shouldnt be.

Was such a great story and talk about beating the odds...its a real shame it ended as it has.

[Muta]

For its size and population, Norway is an absolute sports powerhouse. Owning a huge chunk of these games so far. They don't mess around!

[transplant99]

Not knowledgeable about figure skating and its nuances and whatnot, and its judging has been a problem literally forever, but that performance by the Americans....wow did they nail that skate.....just unreal.

The athleticism....yikes.

[Barnet Flame]

When did Canada become so kyit at curling?
