The short track team might actually dominate in Milan. Winning a medal in every event is well within the realm of possibilities.

I've always liked speedskating (maybe I should check for Dutch heritage), and this team will do pretty well. Not as well as they did at Torino 2006, or maybe even in Beijing, but they'll ring up at least 3 or 4 medals.

I think the figure skating team event is a long shot. They should make the free skates as a top 5 team, but they've got nobody of note to compete in the singles events.

Dance is the best chance in my view.

The Loutitt injury was so unfortunate too. Injured at a test event at the Olympic venue. From what I read in the Italian press, it was largely caused by the jumping hill being constructed incorrectly.

Fall 2024 I seriously considered planning on going to the tournament for at least a couple of days. Then geopolitics got in the way. I suspect I'm not the only Manitoban that changed their mind over the past 14 months.

Winnipegger here, and this is probably true. Winnipeg and the Twin Cities would get along just fine.

And truthfully, if you go about 15 minutes south of Winnipeg and probably 30 minutes north of the Twin Cities you'd find people that are also quite similar.

Just not the same as the cities.

The one that was at Henderson and Kimberley had a very similar appearance. It was significantly remodelled when it was changed to a FreshCo, but I'm not sure if the original roof is still there.

Apparently we're just supposed to think that football started 35-40 years ago.

It's a brave new curling world when Turkey and the Philippines are threatening to qualify for the Olympics.

And the US is in serious danger of missing out entirely.

It just shows the power of the 5 Rings in spurring sport development.

Just thinking out loud, but if you're Einarson, do you throw the game Wednesday?

You already know you're going to have to beat Homan twice to get to Cortina. If you win on Wednesday, you now need to win 3 of 4 to get the trip. That's a tall task, even if Team Homan has looked human at times.

Such sad news, and I'm so sorry for your immense loss. And the loss that all curling fans are feeling.

But, Colleen would definitely want you to be back at the rink this afternoon, and for the rest of this important week.

Just when you think this story can't get any worse, we find that it in fact could.

Except after the three minute warning in the 4th quarter, where a kickoff must take place.

Who would have thought that the Grey Cup next week in Winnipeg will have far better weather than the CPL Final tonight in Ottawa?

What an awful, awful way to lose your chance to win the game.

The spite is going to be working for me. I'm allergic to cheering for Saskatchewan, and "BC Sucks" is thoroughly ingrained in me from the 1980's.

So, I guess I'm going to be cheering for the East Champion. And that's just wrong on so many levels.

I was always skeptical about Grey Cup as an event, but going to Regina in 2022 convinced me that it's a great weekend. The guys that I share tickets with are constantly talking about travelling to the Grey Cup again. They went to BC last year, but I couldn't.

This is the part that I don't get. I'm a Bomber season ticket holder and committed to a 3-year season ticket package to get a discount on my Grey Cup ticket ($299 instead of $399).

It's a big event. I want to attend. I don't understand other STH dumping tickets.
