Revenge for curling!
Canada’s men’s curling team has embarked on a mission of sabotaging and/or bringing a lot of attention to its sport. And earlier today, they aggravated the US curling community to no end.
If you had checked the tiebreaking scenarios, you would’ve seen that if Switzerland beat Italy and Canada beat Norway, the US men would have had a shot at the playoffs. Germany beating China would also simplify things, but the US men ranked highly enough in DSC (Draw Shot Challenge, the measure of how close a team can deliver rocks to the center of the house when they attempt it before each game starts) that it didn’t matter.
