It's hard to know where to begin when you start dissecting what happened to Canada's curlers at the Olympics. It was disappointing no doubt, but there are bigger-picture things at play in this moment that should be talked about and focused on.
Canadian skip Brad Gushue lost twice Thursday, including a 5-3 semifinal decision to Sweden's Niklas Edin, and will play for men's curling bronze on Friday against John Shuster and the 2018 Olympic gold medallists from the United States.
Veteran skip Jennifer Jones and Canada defeated Denmark 10-4 in eight ends on Thursday but failed to make the playoffs in women’s curling in Beijing as results elsewhere didn’t go their way.
Jennifer Jones led Canada to a 7-6 victory over Tabitha Peterson and the United States on Wednesday to improve to 4-3 in the Olympic women's curling round robin in Beijing.
