Martin is one of the favourites for gold but GBR has beaten him the last 4 time they have played.

Curling is one of those sports that I always wanted to get into watching, but never really managed it. I was in a rec league for a short period of time, and I had a lot of fun, but that never translated into me being able to watch it.
They better freaking medal! Something good better come from all the hockey games that got delayed being shown because the Scotts or the Briar was going into extra time. I don't think any other country is even remotely as interested in curling as Canada. Not me though, I am with you, I know nothing about it except it is kinda like crokinole on ice without the pegs.

Canada is definitely considered a medal favorite for both men's and women's.

I would give the chance at Gold as better for the women, Bernard has a history of coming up clutch when she has to, whereas Martin has a history of the opposite, and with GBR playing lights out right now, Martin will need to play 95-100% to be able to pull out the Gold

I don't think he wanted the red buried behind that guard.

Poor draw gives Martin a chance to get out of the end with one.

Whoops. Were they going for the runback, or was that a missed peel?

Morris is curling like . If they lose it's on him. Two big misses in the 10th. Can't have your third do that.
