Scandal in yesterday's curling round robin match with Canada and Sweden. Sweden accused Canada of touching the rock after he released it. Video evidence is inconclusive. Sweden made a complaint to the ref, but he didn't see it apparently. Then at the 9th end when Sweden gave up 4 points and essentially the game, Sweden complained to the Canadian player who then said 'eff you' (sadly, not televised). It got chippy out there!
I can't wait until tomorrow's game when our team can rehash all the T!
Edit: and then today an official pulls a thrown rock from Canada's women's team because they said she touched it after releasing it!!!! Corruption!"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

My limited understanding of the rules is that you can re-touch the handle after you release it if you are in front of the play side of the line, but you can never touch the granite part. Video seems pretty clear the Canadian dude touched the granite.Comment

Canadian guy clearly cheated. Guy was showing Canada's true colors.Comment

From what I saw it looked like both throws in question were behind the hog line before each supposedly touched the granite, after letting go of the handle. I did read one article that said that’s not allowed even if it’s behind the hog line.Originally posted by BigFatMeanie View Post"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

I just saw a close up video of the guy's throw. That looks like he might have touched it right after it started crossing the hog line. But still, that angle could still be suspect. I'd want to see one from up top (which doesn't exist).Originally posted by BigPiney View Post
Since I've been playing an elite level of curling for about 4 months now, I want to address the cheating angle. Those stones are about 40 pounds. A finger push is only going to get you in trouble, especially after you've chosen the rotational speed you're spinning it. The trajectory and speed of the stone comes from the few seconds you slide the ~15-20 feet before you release the stone. I can only assume that someone more elite than me wouldn't dare try to 'right' a stone with a finger swipe after he let go of it."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

Still, he touched the granite, which is always a foul, no?. You’re just siding with Canada because you are a trans-Canuck.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View PostComment

NWC, you are killing me. This is not even remotely "inconclusive". He cheated.
