Well, the only thing I would WANT TO SEE MORE, is for them to put Mike Adam into this final end. I don't think he's played a single end, and I am not sure if he gets a medal out of it if he doesn't play a single end. Do you know? I mean, come on, the guy gave up his spot on he team so thy could bring in a ringer. That's worth a share of the medal, isn't it?

I'm pretty sure that he will get a medal regardless but that might be a nice gesture. I thought that Howard was filling in for someone who wasn't able to play - not as a ringer?

Oh gosh no. Howard was SPECIFICALLY brought in, to be a voice of leadership and experience on the team. He was brought in only a couple of weeks before the Olympic trials. I think they had only played two bonspiels together before that. Mike Adam was the guy who said "I'll step aside" to look after the best interests of the TEAM. Russ Howard's team hadn't MADE the trials, so he was just sitting out there, and would have probably watch the trials, AND the Olympics from his couch in NB, had Toby McDonald (Gushue coach) not called him.

I’ll second that about the American team. I always admire the teams that manage to win the bronze in sports with play-offs. It shows that they have the perseverance, determination and class to overcome the disappointment of not making the final gold/silver game. That is the sign of a future winner. I think they deserve a big cheer. And, way to go Canada for getting the gold!!!

Our women did really well winning the Bronze in Curling too. I miss Sandra Schmurler (Team Captain of the Women's team in Nagano). If she were still alive (Sandra died of Cancer not long after Nagano) and had made the Women's Curling team they might have won the Gold!!!!!!!!!!!

those of you busy watching curling may have just missed the fact that Apollo Ono won gold for the USA in the 500m speedskating final and Tremblay won silver for CANADA!!! so that makes 23 for Canada!! and a whole bunch more for the USA

................................................... When the Canadian Olympic Committee first said that they were expecting 25 medals from Turin, I thought they were off their rocker, not to mention putting unnecessary pressure on the athletes. Well, I'll be danged! Great going Canada, especially female Canada!!!
