***2026 Winter Olympics (Milano Cortina) Thread***

Mens Hockey: Sweden likely in the Quarters is not the easiest match-up. Win that though and could be Slovakia in the Semi-Final which I think is a good set-up.

The 4x100 medley includes three other strokes, though, so if you're really bad at one of them and can't make up for it in another one, or if other racers do well in all four, then you're not going to win. It's a completely different thing.
The 4x100 medley is a relay, four swimmers do it as a team each doing a different stroke.
 
I don't see the problem. He was touching the stone like 1" past the line? That didn't look intentional. It's not enough to gain an advantage. There's no way Sweden could see that with the naked eye and be confident enough to call him out. Was Canada doing that every time?

If someone accuses you of cheating, that seems like an appropriate response.

I like the drama though.

EDIT: I stand corrected. Looks like it's illegal to touch the stone surface at any point. Can only touch the handle. I still don't know what kind of advantage he'd gain, but the stone touch looked intentional.
Bad thing about it is Curling is one of the sports that has no referees and you have to own up or at the very least don't cuss the other team out for calling you out.

The Canucks blowing this thing would be the funniest possible outcome

We all know they’re going to come back and win in OT, and then the US will lose to Sweden

No. We're supposed to cause the Canadian tears.
