(4) year viewing cycle - Curling Time!

[middle.road]

First off - Congrats to Team Canada Mixed Doubles Team for snagging the Gold!
I've been watching the replays at bedtime (too much) . Messing up my schedule.
Did anyone else catch the Gold Medal round? It was the 4th or 5th stone I believe and Kaitlin was up, and the bloody handle was loose?
Seriously? THE round for the Gold and no one had checked the stones prior? A dude comes running out with a Tee handle hex key and tightens it...
Perhaps we should start a fund to send them some Thread-Locker? Perhaps a lesson on proper fastener maintenance.
All the effort they put into the ice and it's conditioning and then there's a loose handle during play... hehe

A friend of mine is a pro curler, if there is such a thing. I asked him once what special talents you need to be great in that sport. he said, "you got to be able to hold your beer"
