Revenge what did you think of the Canadians making that Danish curler cry?

I have mixed emotions on that one....pretty funny to see a curling event so live and rowdy but kind of rude how they did that so late in the match.

I was watching live for that matchup actually.  It seems the majority of the crowd for curling matchups dont really know the rules.  They cheer for just about anything but can you blame them?  The olympics is in Canada, the fact that the crowd is so in to it is a good thing BUT, you still have to be sensible when out there. Maybe the Olympic committee should be running a 2 or 3 minute video before the matchup that explains the rules so there's no confusion.

As for crying over cheering, sounds like a female being way too emotional yet again.  And what's with the massive amount of blush on her cheeks?  She looks like a cheap hooker.

I'm guessing noise and rowdiness aren't normal occurrences at curling matches.  But if it is such a distraction to the curlers, I think then they should make the rules similar to that of tennis, where the crowd has to stay quiet during a rally.

Most professional athletes learn to deal with the noise and what have you.  But these semi-pro or amateur athletes just don't have the experience to learn how to tune it out and they just become overwhelmed.

The announcers said today that the crowd the last couple days have been more in check, hopefully they stay in check

The defending Olympic Champ Clara Hughes just shattered the Oval Record!  We may have another medal on the way!  Another gold will tie Canada for 1st for most golds won
