My mom, brother and myself went to the 12th Round Robin Curling Session at The Paralympic Centre aka Nate Bailey Stadium. We decided to get some food, what a bad idea that was $7 for the tiniest pizza I ever seen!
There were four teams playing; Canada vs. Italy, Great Britian vs. Japan, Germany vs. Sweden and Switzerland vs. Norway. I had no idea how they curled because how could they sweep? Alas they don't sweep at all it's all about pushing the rock with a stick and using the right strength and speed. The teams are also co-ed and instead of playing 10 ends they play 8.
The final standings were Italy 8 and Canada 7, Sweden 10 and Germany 3, Switzerland 10 and Norway 4, Great Britian 10 and Japan 3. Italy and Sweden now have to play to see who moves on to the Semi-finals. Canada is still first place and will be playing the winner.
Overall it was a great set of matches, the atmosphere in the venue was awesome! Everyone was making noise, we even had a few waves going. I just love the Canadian vibe!
