Normally the Norwegian team has the best skis, they spend almost equally much resources as the rest of the circuit combined. So far this olympic the skis have been garbage, in event after event, and today was the worst of all. A lot of pundits are regarding this as a total scandal etc. And frankly, it's incredible how it's possible to fail this terribly while spending this much resources, and not just in one race, but our male and female biathlon and cross country skiers have all been struggling with bad skis in almost every race..

But really cool that at least Sweden won when we didn't, they have a super charming team and it's really good to have Swedish success for the longevity of the sport.

Question for you curling experts: Did the general strategy over last decade change? I remember watching curling at the 2002 olympics (not too much though), and in my memory I rarely saw an end in which more than 3 stones where in play at the same time (now almost every end looks much more complex). I felt that then most of the shots just took out the stone the other team played before. More likely is that my brain tricks me, or I've watched the wrong games then; but still I'd like to know.
