Since there's 25 curling rinks in Scotland and only one in England I imagine they'll do quite well They get a lot more snow than us too.

Bit like cricket then really. Completely pointless Quite a lot off tatics involved and takes a considerate ammount of skill and practise to pull some of them shots off.

novice cushie shooter Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Well done gb ladies. Worth the hard work and training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-wheel-drive Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Its about tactics, if you dont think it through you will miss the point. I can understand it when they get several stones in the circle and you try to knock out the other sides stone and leave your stone to score points but just but as they girls did play several games of just one side throws a stone and the other team just knocks it out I do not see the point in that in the end the only reason that the girls got a bronze was that they had the last stone so could knock the others stone out if I was not waiting for someone to call and collect a parcel I would have been out the door in no time paint drying comes to mind.

scotslad Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Never seen the game but that is quite an attacking approach, quite often in ends like that if u have the last stone (hammer) and house is empty apart from opisitions last stone u will try to knock it out and ur own so no score so u keep the last stone advantage, the girls broke and equalled the olypic record for highest scores in earlier rounds. Think in some of the earlier games they lost as eve (skip who throws last stone) went for a big shot instead of sitting on the 1 and they ended up losing, so possibly playing safe if got noses infront, big prize an olympic medal Often they will try to kep the hammer for getting 2 or 3 stones in the house, instead of just the 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Prawn Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 To mash up two topics I wonder if Scotland could enter the Olympics immediately after any devolution as I remember there were about three athletes in 2012 that paraded under the Olympic flag and were not identified by a country as their countries were not yet recognised by the IOC.
