That listing link auto-adjusts to the time setting on your own computer, so it's local to you.

Kaitlyn Lawes & Johnny Mo Underway

Wouldn't surprise me if Kailtlyn & Morris take a dump in their 1st game vs. Norway - then get all souped up and WIN OUT......

Kaitlyn's advantage curling with a puzzler like Morris is she's curled for over half a decade for one of the most stressed-out, hi-strung skips in the history of the game. John Morris shoud be a virtual walk in the park!

Bruce Rainey with Joan McCusker & Husky Harris dong the broadcast for CBC.

No Rob Faulds - as CBC is trying to do this one themselves; Faulds is a Sportsnet/Rogers guy

Losing the hyperbole of Faulds for the low-key, soft-spoken Rainey!

Johnny Football lived up to his nickname today - wild & crazy shots. . . . . . leaving zilcho for Kaitlyn on her final stone!!!

Should be a first draw loss for Canada - as someone predicted!

Looks like Canada won this morning. I wouldn't compare JJ to J-Mo - Kaitlyn will be relieved to curl with her again!

Doubles Teams

I thought the whole idea of this mixed-doubles is to get more countries involved. Why only 8 countries (includes Russia rep).

I thought that strange as well. 8 teams, with 4 making the playoffs. Why didn't they go with 10 teams for doubles?

Also think the tiny 8 team field is a bit of a joke. Whats up with no Scotland, no Sweden, no Germany, especially the first two noted?

Heck, Canada had 24 or 28 teams competing in Portage alone - and probably 10 or 12 of them could probably medal in this field.

No excuse for 8 teams, especially with abbreviated 5 rock - 8 end matches.

Even if they had to wedge in a Canadian B-team plus a Euro or Asian B squad would have rounded out the field quite nicely.

Or 2 pools of 8 if they're looking to allow more countries to participate.

NICE of you folks to simply add any number of countries you deem fit to the mix but...... don't they have to QUALIFY FIRST?

Exactly. Allow more countries to qualify. There's only 3 Euro teams, 4 if you count the Russians. Should be 8 from Europe alone.

Perhaps restricted being first time and want to get a feel for how much time and facilities to dedicate . And how it is received by the Olympic fan base.

And if it were not for two teams, namely: Kasner/Kaithoff and Courtney/Carruthers Canada would not be participating in this event today.

If they had more than 8 teams they would need at least another couple of days to complete I would think. There are only 4 sheets of ice. This event already has to start early so that is done before the team competitions start..

They had 39 teams at worlds in 9 days.
16 doing old math is 5 maybe 6 days max.
I don't see the problem

Not going to compare with worlds as I don't have the info on number of sheets used or the format. I know that they do not want a team to play 3 games in a day at the Olympics if at all possible. Would probably have to do that by adding teams. Anyway I think with only 6 days keeping the number to 8 is fine.....
