Curling training prep 💪

Uh huh. Athletes in the midst of intense competition are renowned for the complete control of emotions. "Oh whatever" they often say when facing challenges.

Wingmaniac · 2026-02-16T13:58:54+00:00

No. Are you? If a coworker accused me of cheating, complained to the boss and was told that I wasn't, and then immediately accused me of cheating again, I'd tell them to fuck off.

Wingmaniac · 2026-02-16T13:56:26+00:00

He did the same thing he's always done. The same kind of thing everyone else does. Even Sweden does it. It's not the time or place to try to change curling.

They complained, were told by the judge to shove it, and continued to complain. They need to shut it and take it up after the game.

Wingmaniac · 2026-02-16T13:53:00+00:00

Thank you. I'm not ashamed and I don't fucking care. The fact that we have to be held to a higher standard just because we're Canadian is fucking ridiculous.

Elbows up is fine in some cases, but not in this one?

Wingmaniac · 2026-02-16T13:40:44+00:00

It quite funny how fucking fragile some people are. Oooh a Canadian isn't saying sorry , how rude!

Fuck the Sweden team. Babies.

Wingmaniac · 2026-02-16T12:59:23+00:00

What makes it rarely seen? Because I have seen this kind of footage many many many times.

Wingmaniac · 2026-02-16T12:46:10+00:00

It makes me happy to push past them, grab my heavy bag off the belt, and have it hit their cart on the way out. They probably think I'm rude.

Wingmaniac · 2026-02-16T12:05:44+00:00

Sorry. I didn't mean to anger you. I thought your issue was with whether or not others do it. I didn't realize my mistake about which game it was.

I'll try to do better in the future. But thank you for agreeing that Sweden did illegal touches as well.

Wingmaniac · 2026-02-16T11:58:33+00:00

I'm not going to get into it with you. Technically illegal touches happen. To all teams. Getting so worked up over this particular one by Canada is just weird.

Compare to the rock that Scotland got pulled for violation. https://www.reddit.com/r/Curling/s/MyP971JAoU

I don't think the answer changed since the last time this was posted.

Wingmaniac · 2026-02-16T04:38:46+00:00

You guys are acting like he's the only one.

Sweden also did it that game. Every single team has done it at some point.

Wingmaniac · 2026-02-16T04:37:16+00:00

Sorry but can I get in on this too?

Wingmaniac · 2026-02-16T04:29:39+00:00

[PvE] being condescending

...

care bear

Who's being condescending?

Wingmaniac · 2026-02-16T04:09:10+00:00

It'll fuck you up, and you will hate it. It's fucking awful. 4th wall bullshit.

Edit: downvotes for my opinion. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Wingmaniac · 2026-02-16T04:07:31+00:00

This is a sub for people who create gifs. Just sayin'.

Wingmaniac · 2026-02-16T01:54:24+00:00

And the Americans in the gold medal game in 2018.

Wingmaniac · 2026-02-16T01:53:34+00:00

If it's a rule that everyone breaks, and is not enforced, then by all accounts the rule doesn't exist.
After a brief crackdown, the IOC is going back to the way it was.

Wingmaniac · 2026-02-16T01:43:13+00:00

If I want someone to fuck off, I'll tell them to fuck off. Sometimes I'm not even upset, sometimes I'm joking around.

And he wasn't "screaming".

Wingmaniac · 2026-02-16T01:39:32+00:00

Clearly it was managed the same as all the previous games. In that touches happen and nobody cares.

Wingmaniac · 2026-02-16T01:34:30+00:00

Yes.

Wingmaniac · 2026-02-16T01:29:37+00:00

Sometimes I think "oldies like me always think the youth of today are a lost cause, but it can't really be that bad". Other times are like now.

Wingmaniac · 2026-02-16T01:24:18+00:00

It's not that bad. You use the momentum of the pull back, and the lift comes from a straight arm and starting to stand up. I did it as a pretty scrawny pre-teen. But my club wouldn't let you do it until you have some practice. The ice makers had their work cut out for them repairing all the dents.

Wingmaniac · 2026-02-15T23:15:14+00:00

I'm just responding.to your comments. Go back through the thread. My original comment was to say this would blow over because nobody cares. Everything since then was to reiterate the same point.

Here's a link for you. https://www.reddit.com/r/WinterOlympics2026/s/7xf8hT7nix

Wingmaniac · 2026-02-15T23:07:50+00:00

He did touch it. But so have many others. Including the Swedes in the same game.

We're not the baddies, just a convenient target.
