And I always thought it (curling) was a Canadian sport.
Or at least we OWN the sport .... much like hockey
Well we have in the recent past ...
Last night, the two (supposedly) top (men's) curling teams in the world, Canada & Great Britain met in a nail biter. Canada (who has yet to register a loss 6-0) edged out Great Britain (who now can't afford a single more loss in order to make it to the semi-finals). They (the Brits 3-3) will be playing the U.S. this afternoon.
As for the Canadian women, they too have yet to register a single loss (4-0), and are currently routing out the U.S. team (2-3).
Of course all of this is happening in a round robin situation. Anything can happen in the semis & finals. As we saw last night where 2 Canadian men (brothers, actually) in a 5 man 1 000 m speed skating final ended up 4th and 5th.
