lost today. They dropped a 4 spot, and grinded out a close 10th. Nerves. The ice. All the things. The USA women are good. both teams can and will play better. Build on it, win the next games, and the final Swiss game might not matter.

I think if you run this red rock in 100 times, you probably get 3 half of them, you get two 24 times and you get one 24 times. One time, you give up a steal of 4. 🥌 is bonkers.

If Italy needed 4, I’m not sure they would have seen the shot for 4. GB plays a shot for 2, gives up a steal of 4.

Beyond the medals: Curling as social infrastructure
As attention focuses on the Games in Italy, we ought to look beyond the podium to social connections made at our local arenas.

Arsenal have world-class game-changers on the bench. I personally think we'll be fine, but we'll need some of them to come out. Jesus, Saka, and Odegaard in a 3-person change, I think.

Not sure why Peterson doesn't take on the double on her first. Get a miss out of Hasselborg, then just not go on the front foot? This was one 🥌 to win for the US.

The bottom of the Premier League is a mess, and it is going to be fun to watch. Unless you're a fan of West Ham, Forest, Leeds, or Spurs. You could even throw Brighton or Palace in there if you were being mean.

The hardest thing in all sports is being composed in the moment. In ⚽, it is having the composure in the moment to finish. In 🥌 is kick soft when you're stressed. There's no secret to it.

I had my doubts about GB in mixed curling. None of them were based on their ability to throw the rock, just on the ability to sweep it. Mouat is one of the most ridiculously confident throwers of the rock, maybe ever. But sweeping, yo. Dude's a skip.

As you sit and watch and marvel at 🥌, remember, if you Google "curling near me," you can find out if Curling is indeed near you. It is in every state in the US, and most towns in Canada, so you're bound to find it in Canada or the US. This is our Olympic try curling event:

First black end of the mixed-doubles 🥌 competition in the Canada / Italy game. Probably the only one, since a blank means losing the hammer.

Curling tip: if don't have hammer, and you're playing a run back on the second thrower's last, you're in a boatload of trouble. See, for example, this 🥌 line score.

If you're loving all the 🥌 on TV for the Olympics, Google "curling near me," and I'll bet there is an open house coming up near you where people will teach how to sweep and why they yell "hard." This is ours, btw.

If team GB lose a semi-final in mixed doubles 🥌, will it stay with Mouat? Especially if it is on a miss. Could that be a factor in the fours?

The mixed doubles 🥌 starts today. Mixed doubles is hard to pick, because everything can happen in an end. But I really like the US team for a couple of reasons. First. Cory Thiesse is a third throwing last rock. She has some experience skipping and a lot of success.

Einarson was dialed in. She made the hit and roll in 2 that was perfect. Could not have gotten to a better spot. And while she seeded control back with the missed double to blank, she made up for it with a banger in 10. 🥌🧵
