The Tower Bridge Fox Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 Looking forward to the mens and women's curling still can't believe the Team GB men didn't qualify beyond the round robins at pyeongchang after winning five matches.

Faster Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 curling in 2018 was weird, how do you think Canadians felt about being skunked? This is only the 2nd and 3rd time Canada has sent repeat skips. Teams have changed a bit. Would say in the men's events the favourites are Canada, Sweden and Scotland and on the womens side the medals should come from Canada/Sweden/Switzerland/Scotland.

StefanMUC Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Given that Italy‘s song is already known…I very much doubt whoever goes for the UK will beat them. But good luck with the curling anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron-pierreIV Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 My 2nd best Winter sport to watch!! Mesmerizing. But I still can't figure out how they get the "Beijing 2022" signs on the ice in the center to always line up the correct way if they flip play between the 2 ends. The FOP doesn't seem to have been painted mirror-image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess, having the logo on ice looks nice (and it really does!). Showing it upside down would probably be an infringement of their corporate identitiy/LOTG restrictions. So moving the camera up for a few seconds is the easiest way to go. Here (timestamp at 43 seconds) you can see how they are turning the camera a little up. They actually were a little late in this case so you can see the Olympic rings upside down on the ice for like a second. It was uploaded by Discovery, so I hope this isn't geoblocked in the US.

It's blocked. Thanks for trying though. But I don't see why the 5 rings can't be seen upside down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munichfan Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 Congrats over the channel. I've only seen the last three ends, but it must have been a wild shoot-out judging by how many scoreless ends there were. Btw, it's a shame there's no Hot Bods thread for these games - one of those Scots is right up my alley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
