Well, the pipe dream of being on top of the medal standings is long gone. Really, it was an unrealistic goal given how unclutch our athletes are...I mean we aren't Americans after all

Nice shot and follow-up draw by JJ to take a 3-1 lead over Sweden in the women's curling gold medal game.

Just turned it on. What exactly was Sweden trying to do there?

Looked like they missed their seventh shot, Darkstone.

Not a good end to make a mistake, Jill.

Not a good end to make a mistake, Jill.

She's really good at the takeouts, though.

Jeez, what is up with Kaitlyn today?

 

[Darkstone42]

My announcers sound like they'd be better suited to golf.

 

[Darkstone42]

Jeez, what is up with Kaitlyn today?

She's really off.

 

[quoipourquoi]

This isn't going well.

Canada dodged a bullet in that end - Sweden had a chance at 3 or maybe 4, but only scored two. 3-3 tie after five ends.

 

[Darkstone42]

I wonder if the ice is in bad shape. It doesn't look like either team has been especially consistent so far.

 

[quoipourquoi]

That could have been a lot worse. Tie game with the hammer after five. Every Swedish player is shooting above her tournament average. And Kaitlyn will be better in the second half.

This end is like my curling beer leagues...

Yes, the Americans have defined clutch this Olympics.

If Canada does this for five ends and wins 4-3 on their very last shot, they will have become the New Jersey Devils of curling.

Sweden dictated it a little bit, but I think they just wanted a little confidence.

Lawes is underthrowing her takeouts and that is causing her rocks to curl more than expected. Step up the weight, woman.

/Always dangerous to ask a woman to add weight.

Jennifer "Jacques Lemaire" Jones: "We're totally in control of this game."

 

[BlueWolfZero]

Jones is doing her best to hold this game together. Officer and Lawes have been brutal
