I am assuming you are referring to the tongue piercing?
That HAS to be painful…
I am assuming the dude is a coach. I didnt know curling had coaches…I thought it was more like..bowling or something like that. Obviously there are experts to every game..just didnt know they were proactively involved
The Swiss coach is from Edmonton, Canada. Seems like Canadians are coaching half the teams playing (the other half being coached by Scots).
Coaches will help the teams prepare, but it is my understanding that the Skips call the shots in-game. Correct me if i am wrong.
The Chinese women’s team also trained not far from Edmonton in a small town called Leduc, Alberta.
The coaches can come down to the ice for one minute in each of a team’s two timeouts.
timeouts?!? This game is timed?
what happens if he stays longer than one minute?
BTW, the crowd looks thrilled.
Yes, timed, Eric. Each side has 73 minutes to play all of their stones over the course of the normal game’s ten ends. Failure to do this results in a loss for the offending team (in the Olympic rules anyways).
After one minute of a coach’s advice, the behind-the-scenes curling people (bright green jackets and circa 1994 headsets) passive-agressively get the coach to return to their seat.
I caught a good deal of this match this afternoon when I was taken out to a local Mexican restaurant for lunch. They had it playing on the large-screen over the servers’ area.
The clientele actually got quite into it, one man even shouting “Oh! Good shot!” when a very good stone was bowled.
We pitied the fool who wasn’t down with curling.
Father L: That poor poor soul. But I’m sure he is a “nice person”.
The great hats would work for me if the man and lady switched colors!
Second picture down is an attractive woman with a determined look; kinda looks like my wife, at times–scary (if you live in my shoes)!
I think curling is great, but it’s not very bloodthirsty. I, like the ancient Romans, like sports that can kill!
Sports that can kill, eh? Maybe icehockey comes close. USA have no chance against Finland today. ;-)
Suomi!
No chance against Finland?
We shall see.
Pauljk, as a Canadian, it is my duty to agree with you.
Father,
We shall see.;-) In good spirit, I do hope it is a good game, whatever the result.:-)
Trevor,
Finland v Canada final sounds good.
Tongue piercings are a constant source of revenue for dentists.
Those metal studs are hell on teeth enamel.
I would like one of those hats, but I find it so hard to find a curling stone in my size.
Suomolainer fail.
pauljk: Sooo… how did that Finland/USA thing work out for you?
Cheryl Bernard made curling a lot more interesting.
