It's on free to air TV in the UK... All the major sporting events are protected and have to be free to watch.

That'll probably change at some point. It's already went from every sport during an Olympics being free to access to just one/two channels showing selection events with the rest being on 'cable'.
That's cool to learn.

They should turn on a TV for you guys down there.
Where do you live in relation to Very-Rusty?

I hope you're not one of THOSE people who think the Northern Hemisphere is superior to the Southern Hemisphere.

Makes sense. I think we have more people of Scottish ancestry than the Swedes do.

Just as an aside...
I've never seen hostilities - and almost a fight even, break out between the sides in the middle of a curling match before.

Then there was Canada vs. Sweden. Sweden at one point accused Canada of cheating. Oh my!
The claim is that the roller had double-tapped the stone before pushing off.
Judges and IOC officials said there was no proof of the claim.

That's a cheap-shot tactic if I ever saw one. lol

Asking as someone who used to play shuffleboard at my late grandparents' mobile-home park's court, is there really such a rule against double-tapping the stone before giving it a shove?
