Winter Olympics '26 - Milan

[Super_horns]

Looks like GB men curlers will need to win their last game against the USA and hope other results go their way to finish top 4 

[trabuch]

I've come to the conclusion that Steve Cram doesn't know quite as much about curling as he thinks he does. He even seems to think he knows more than Logan Gray

[trabuch]

Quite poor from GB. Threw that away a bit.

Commentator just said Japan could take a clean sweep in the ice skating. Quick as a flash, I say: "If that happens, the headline should be JAPANCAKE DAY!"

 

Stony silence from the missus.

 

Pearls before swine ffs.

[leicsmac]

Disappointing from both curling teams tbh, considering they're both among the best in the world. 

 

Also disappointing is the judges carrying on the age of habit of being rather unfair towards GB short track speed skaters.

[trabuch]

Wow - what a finish vs USA by Rebecca Morrison. Still in it.

[leicsmac]

Perhaps the curlers function better in a situation where every match is a knockout match for them...

Let’s hope the men follow suit ?

Highlight of the games for me so far was the fact they went out their way to give us the photo finish camera angle. 

[Super_horns]

Very good win v the USA.

 

Now have to wait and hope for the best I guess .

So the Swiss and Canadians are both qualified for the semis 

they are up a against the Norwegians and Italians tomorrow

If either of them lose, then the British qualify for the semis

if they both lose then the Norwegians and Italians qualify 

 

Surely they’re better off both losing and not having Great Britain in the final 4 ???

That's a worry, but hopefully competitivity gets the better of them.

We are in a bit of trouble here.

 

I cant even explain how monumental it would be for us to lose this here.

 

Let's go boys!

[VinceNoir]

That was certainly more difficult(and stressful) than I'd expected.

 

Not what Crosby's status is, so we may have to do this without him.

Yea. Setup for a good shot at a medal which we always expect as Canadians but semi finals will be very tough.
