It's a shame that the GB men get the curling silver (probably) they would be made to feel worst than the women getting bronze, everyone crediting the women for getting GB to the medal record haul.

I've got the feeling the headlines tomorrow will be all about Elise Christie though, either way.
 
I feel dumb for doubting them earlier in the week. They are playing amazingly well.
Don't feel dumb. They did not look like a gold medal team when 1-2. Also listen to the commentator right now on CBC. Jacobs was basically an unknown a year ago and went into the Brier not even in the top 3 teams. So nothing to feel dumb about. A lot of people had those same doubts.

The same German biathlon team won in december. This is the worst race I'v ever seen for Germany since I follow this sport, pretty crazy. Not a single medal for them and a doping incident on top.

A couple of years ago we dominated this sport with Neuner, Wilhelm, Henkel and a couple of others who could win races.

Atleast Miriam Gössner's (she's injured) Playboy shoot was pretty nice.

Yesterday was the first curling match(?) I've ever watched, and I was impressed by the women, but Jacobs is a beast.

Honestly, this has been one of the less exciting curling matches I've seen this week. So many mistakes by Britain. It's most impressive when both teams are pulling off really tough shots. The first few ends of China vs Canada in the round robin comes to mind.

Jacobs and team played really consistently so you have to give them credit, but can't deny GB threw away many opportunities. Gotta feel for 'em, but they should be glad to have silver in the pocket.

Wow it looks like they finally stopped spending so much time on Tinder and focused on Curling the last couple matches.
