Interesting angle. If Homan goes to Olympics then CurlOn is sending a different team to the Scotties. Same rule for Courtney? Or is the broadcast team even going over or doing it remotely?
I like the team, Courtney can provide a different viewpoint as elite front ender, too many skips in the booth spoils the broth as they say.

Broadcasters are doing it remotely from Toronto.

Courtney was going to be commentator for the mixed doubles trial. She commentated for CBC at 2019 national.

She was great. Here's an example where she critiques sweeping technique:

It's possible that Courtney will only commentate during the mixed doubles tournament portion of the Olympics, if scheduling is a potential issue.

Now get rid of the other two and maybe CBC won’t have the worst commentators in the business. Heroux is right there for the lay person angle, use him!

Devin Heroux and Colleen Jones provided CBC commentary for the "Curling Boo-Boo of Massive Proportion" game, one of the greatest meltdown in mixed doubles curling I've ever seen.

Agreed. While they're at it, they should show the lead rocks every end rather than coming back from commercial break just in time for the second stones!
