If it was the US we would be hearing a lot more about it from them. LMAO

How come I'm not reading about it being Trump's fault that Canada cheated? Give it time. Lol

It’s difficult to say which is more embarrassing,,,, The outfits or the curling controversy/tantrum??? Feel bad for all the other Canadian athletes ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2026/02/full-20026-285834-img_3292.jpeg)

You can never touch the granite
It’s not a show stopping infraction,,, the rock gets pulled
The tantrum after he was called out, at that level
is the embarrassing part
Agree, the rock touch is a whatever, there are infractions in every sport that are dealt with in the rules. Calling it “cheating “ is as big a stretch as saying that about a facemask in football. But, the reaction was totally lame and a bad look for an athlete from anywhere on earth.

I thought you could touch the rock again as long as it hasn’t passed the green (hog) line? Is that not the case? You can only touch the handle.

If it was the US we would be hearing a lot more about it from them. LMAO lol, only if the athlete reacted in the same clownlike manner. Infractions happen in every sport. It’s not cheating when you slash the opponent in hockey, it’s a penalty. In curling the rock touched doesn’t count. As a Canadian, I hope they don’t win just because of the reaction.

Personally I'd rather watch Curling than figure skating. If it's a rule it should at least be stopped. Cheating ??

This has been blown way out of proportion. What sells though, good or bad? The reaction was ridiculous but still, banned lol. This type of thing regularly happens in curling, infraction or not. Great Britain has also been called for it now at Milano and now there are people judging something they have no experience doing. There are even videos you can find of John Shuster double touching at the 2018 Olympics. The difference between the thousands of times before and now is that Sweden tried to use it to get an edge on the world’s biggest stage in a game after a poor Olympic start. The reaction was terribly unsportsmanlike but banned , cmon. Throw the astros from mlb, forget the Hall of Fame for Brady, the list goes on and on and on. Even Ryan Lochte only got ten months suspension for that gong show where he got wasted at the Olympics, participated in vandalism and public urination and went on US T.V saying he had been robbed at gunpoint. It only blew up in his face when his teammates told the truth. If that isn’t good for an Olympic lifetime ban, should a touch that forced your team to lose the rock be?

If it was me I would have grabbed that camera toting swede by the ears and pulled him toward me and head butted him hard on the beak to get his eyes watering good,then give him a good hard finger knuckel punch to the windpipe,then when he hit the ground I would kick him in the face hard about 6 times with my hob nailed ice boots.
Cant touch this do - do - do do do do - do do Cant touch this.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
