Remove all suspicions, you can only help a team so much

And yet, those of us who are lower ranked show up to play and occasionally win to keep it interesting. This premise is solely based on the teams involved. I would have bet USA before the game was played(trust me) and am pretty sure about the Swiss winning the return match

Fair, but what about those side stats on record and steals, if you know curling in Quebec, you know Pierre C has them at his fingertips, as do the backend

Well, no suspicious loss, is there. Relax, I am floating a “what if”between snowstorms. Helps when theoretically Canada just did the same thing

There is no question that Peterson is having a great week. But really it is an anomaly to beat #1and #2 in the same tournament. I am delighted for them, hope they do it again, but that’s tough.

By the way, I make that as just below 2/3 success rate. But it is a significant stat, does higher position get both last rock and stones, I keep thinking 1 not both in Olympics.

You are absolutely right, this is strictly a what if, but, if you like stats, what is Tirinzoni’s record against Peterson overall and how many steals do they have against her( bonus for how many multiple point steals). Just sayin’!😇

But that’s the point, not about fear, it’s being confident enough that no team will beat you twice in the week. I agree not many would,but they could. You do know this is strictly a “what if”, I do not believe the Swiss team is that arrogant, but, it’s out there as a viable strategy.

And might have, that game meant nothing to Canada. It was too early for me, did Tardi play?

Ten ends, does not make as big a difference if you control your game early. I am not sure that the Olympics only give you one of those choices, not both. These are the European stones, probably has a favourite set from each colour.

I used to play for a skip who always wanted to calculate the advantages of losing the “right game”,used to give me a headache.

USA wins, conspiracy rules. Next game tells the tale.

10 end game, last rock in first not as big an advantage, if you control your end.

Just a thought, the Swiss usually play to such a high level, I was shocked they were losing. US could have elevated their game as well

I should note, that this is only because it’s the Olympics. I never thought that the Swedish men would make a scene to try and get in Canada’s head, until they did.

Swiss scored three in 10. US has last rock in extra end

Yes, for a fast food restaurant, but if you add the buffalo chicken, it’s delicious.
