It's started!
Homan with the hit for one.
I've been watching curling forever and I've never seen Homan with her hair up. And over at the Scotties Miskew with her hair down. Everything is backwards

Why do the curling stones have green lights that go on and off?

You have to release the stone before the red line. A green light means the throw is legal. Red light the stone is dead.

Thanks. I wouldn't have thought that would have been a problem in need of an electronic solution.

Yeah curlers are pretty honest but in the past there used to be a line judge.

The black unis with black socks, helmets, and gloves make the team look like the bad guys in Strange Brew.

Kingsbury 1st in his qualification, great to see. Homan/Morris in a battle so far but looking good.

Women’s Moguls Freestyle Skiing event - Chloe Dufour-Lapointe advanced to the finals. Justine Dufour-Lapointe and Sofiane Gagnon get a second chance to do so.
