What a 24 hours ... Curling ... W Hockey ... Beauty, ay!

[BrassBulls12]

For real. That would be like Canada beating our wbc team and the US WBB team in the same night. 

[BrassBulls12]

Going for gold in a little more than two hours. I’m going to start the match and will do everything I can to finish it. USA!!!!! Beat Sweden. 

[BrassBulls12]

Well I only lasted into the sixth. But Shuster had some amazing shots in the third and the fourth to flip the game around and I’m sure that patterned continued. Go USA, Go Curling. #andnew #worldcurlingchapms.

Shuster's 5 pointer and our final penalty shot in the Women's Gold against Canada are my Olympic moments ...

It was type amazing. I have no understanding on how you score in curling, and the announcers do a terrible job of explaining.

A team gets one point for having the closest stone to the center (button). They get an additional point for every stone they have that is closer to the button than the closest stone of their opponent. Only one team can score. Teams alternate as to who throws last.

Don't think that's correct. After the first end, it's whoever scores throws first next end .....

[BrassBulls12]

That’s correct. I just knew it wasn’t  the same team every time and was to lazy to check the specifics on that.
