I think Tardi actually moved to Calgary last year after the BC playdowns.

Einarson has to be MUCH better than she was in the QF....i think she curled 68%.

The ice has decided to straighten up and whoever adjusts better will win.

Yeah I watched some of it.
She was terrible

[GirlySports]

Japan was just as terrible, Fujisawa 66%. And these are two great teams.

6th end lying one trying for 2, kicked the Canadian stone in fir a steal. And the shot for Japan to win in the 10th was not difficult either. Just awful conditions to play a World Championship.

Rocks bad
Ice bad
Curling bad

WCF is a bit of a joke

[nieuwy-89]

Team Canada will play for the bronze again. Huge miss by Kerri to give up 3 in the 9th. They have not curled their best this week.

[GirlySports]

We see how Gushue does next week. WCF ice is a joke. We saw how good those last 4 games of the Brier were. On Canadian ice, Scotties, Brier, Grand Slams they can make anything.

[Strange Brew]

And yet certain teams continue to excel at the WC’s, Tirinzoni wins no matter where they play. The results certainly aren’t random.

That is an amazing streak but still, the conditions are so bad. Watching the final now it's mistake after mistake. Switzerland might still win, but it's not good to watch.

Adding a L to NZ feels so unnecessary

[EldrickOnIce]

Everyone needs to watch the shot Niklas Edin made to score 2 and force an extra end this morning. It was ridiculous that you could throw the spinner and actually make the shot.

That was fantastic. Easily the best shot I've ever seen, and that's without taking the context of the situation into account. Wow!

[DoubleK]

I watch a fair amount of curling.

I've never seen anyone attempt that, let alone make the shot.

Insanity.

[ben voyonsdonc]

It’s amazing because it was literally the only shot he could make. It wasn’t a “trick shot” like the video is labelled - it was done that way because it was the only way he could make it. Just unbelievable.

[transplant99]

Nothing left to say that hasn't already been said.

Astounding stuff.
