The Norwegians were wearing one of the funniest uniforms I've ever seen!
Team Canada and Team Sweden shaking hands after their match.
The Dutch team minus 1...
The Swedes sweeping thier rocks into the house.
The Canadian vice John Morris throwing his rock.On the morning of the 18th at 9 a.m. I went to watch a match of curling. Canada won 7-3 over the Swedes! The good thing about the curling match is that the crowd is so animated so every time Canada would do something good the crowd would go nuts! Another good thing about the curling is that there is more than one match at a time, 4 actually. The other games were Denmark and U.S.A. which went into extra ends Denmark won by a point 7-6. There was a Norway- Germany game and Norway won 7-4 and last but not least Great Britain and Switzerland played and Switzerland won that one 4-3. In the row behind us, there were some passionate G.B. fans (well all G.B. fans are passionate because curling is such a big thing there, the Brits are good at it) who were cheering (singing) these really long cheers and that made are experience more enthusiastic.
Sorry for falling behind in my blog (got busy again and had some technical dificulties.

ReplyDeleteYou could feel the excitement in our house as we are counting down the days for your return home. Travis is expressing himself with tears as he is missing you a lot. He even slept in your bed over the weekend.
Wishing you a safe trip to “Big White”. Enjoy your last few days.
Love,

I have been loving the curling! I am absolutely amazed at how the players can get their rocks where they want them. Definitely not one of my skills as my eye hand perception is not particularly strong. Both Canadian men and women have been doing great. Today I watched Kevin Martin's 8th shutout, this time against the US. Martin is so impressive. It's great you were there, Dylan, and witnessed the incredible enthusiasm of the crowd. Did you hear that in one of the Canadian men's games the crowd of 5600 broke out into Oh Canada and the players on both teams stopped play and just looked until it was over? The players said they had never had that experience before and it was something they would never forget. We stand a good chance of medals for both men and women. Love, Aunt Penny
ReplyDeleteI watched this gold medal match here in Sydney. It's hard to explain the draw of winter sports, let alone curling, to an Australian who may have never seen snow and doesn't know anything about such sports. I was captivated though, and did a cheer when the Canadians finally pulled it out!
