CURLING 🥌 PRIDE

It’s not often an athlete or team is this dominant is universally loved and celebrated

Bruce Mouat is the exception. He’s living authentically on and off the ice. Openly gay. Inspiring others. And eyeing Olympic curling gold

A few months ago I traveled to Scotland to spend time with Bruce Mouat and his parter Craig Kyle.

This Friday, my @CBCOlympics feature about the world’s number-one ranked skip Bruce Mouat.

About his support system and how being open and vulnerable changed his game and life.

Good morning sports fans.

A brilliant sunrise over the big city to start the day.

Another flight, the last one before the Olympics, for some downtime this with family. And a detour to a swimming pool at the end of the week. More to come on that. Have a great day.

A massive congratulations to Switzerland’s Silvana Tirinzoni — who revealed today this was her last @grandslamcurl event in her career.

And what a way to finish it off, with a Players’ Championship title.

High emotion to be sure. Going out on top.
January 12, 2026 at 3:23 AM
What a spectacular finish to the @grandslamcurl season.

Congratulations to Team Whyte and Team Tirinzoni for capturing the Players’ Championship titles. And to Steinbach for a great event.

Thank you to all you fans out there for supporting this great sport we all love.
January 12, 2026 at 12:57 AM
TEAM TIRINZONI FOR THE WIN

A wicked finish to the Slam season. It came to the final stone. Einarson just missed it. And that’s three-straight Players’ Championship titles for Tirinzoni.

And we’ve just learned it’s Silvana Tirinzoni’s last Slam ever. What a finish for her.
January 12, 2026 at 12:15 AM
MESSY HOUSE ALERT

An absolutely chaotic finish to this women’s final.

Down to skip stones. Tirinzoni up 6-4. Einarson has the hammer, throwing red rocks.
January 11, 2026 at 11:57 PM
Final end of the women’s final coming up folks.

Tirinzoni up 6-4 heading to the 8th end.

Einarson has the hammer trying to find some magic. Here we go.
January 11, 2026 at 11:39 PM
Alina Patz is playing a spectacular game so far.

And she just made a brilliant run-back for two to take a 5-2 lead at the break.

Patz is curling 95% so far. Einarson has hammer in the 5th.
January 11, 2026 at 11:05 PM
Look at this place.

Absolutely packed at the Southeast Event Centre for the women’s @grandslamcurl final.

Einarson just scored two in the 3rd end to get back into this thing. It’s 3-2 Tirinzoni leading with hammer in the 4th end.
January 11, 2026 at 10:40 PM
The last Slam final of the @grandslamcurl season.

And the Players’ Championship trophy is up for grabs in the women’s title game.

It’s Team Tirinzoni vs Team Einarson right now in front of a packed house in Steinbach
