If you throw it with no curl on it, then the imprefections in the ice will be more likely to affect the rock, physics sort of like a knuckleball. The curl on it makes the throw much more predictable.

I'm lost now in trying to figure out Canada's strategy. Well maybe I'll learn something.

Don't know much about curling but this appears to be a very bad situation. This sucks

You can't have a draw in an end. You either have a blank or one team scores. A blank is highly unlikely in an extra end.

Such a disappointment. Stupid miss in 10th cost them a gold.

Far to many mistakes this game.
