The French skater (Cizeron), I finally figured out why he creeped me out. It was like watching Polkaroo skate.

Awesome day/night for Canada!

Side note, the other Canadian in the women's halfpipe, Rosalind Groenewoud finished 10th but was apparently skiing with a broken arm. That's insane!

Miskew rolls out on a wide open hit in end 1. End gets blanked when it was set up for an easy 2 for Canada.

They bumble their way through end 2 and China steals 2.

They are just not sharp.

yeah that was really poor.

Sweepers totally misread that last shot, but it wasnt a good one to begin with either.

Lose this one and they are in really tough to make the playoff round.

Hearing the curlers yell in their various native languages is always one of the highlights of the Olympics for me.

Not really a surprise at all. It would be a disappointment if we had more Bronze than Gold.

Canada hasn't finished a Winter Olympics with more Bronze than Gold since 1994

Rachel is missing simple draw shots and guards. Curling 75% on the tournament, which is no where near good enough.

And then the Chinese girl turns around and completely gacks one allowing Canada to steal 2.

Terrible curling.

Missed shot by China gives Canada a steal of 2, big turning point there.

Hilarious story on how Elizabeth Swaney gamed the system in order to compete at the Olympics.

I forget who said it, but before each pairs or ice dance, the announcers need to tell the audience if he is in or out of the friend zone.

I have no issue with Swaney being there, she met the qualification standards.

Why she wanted to spend 10s of thousands of her own dollars to give that performance at the Olympics, that I don't understand.

Don't know what's going on with Homan these Olympics. She's been uncharacteristically bad.
