I don't remember Vera Pezer but do remember a team winning 4 in a row and 5 out of 6.

"Unfair" is one of the most overused words. No guarantee that life will be "fair" to anyone.
If the worst thing that happens in your life is that you don't get to a worlds then you are fortunate.

What a ridiculous response. What is the other word that should be used when one is denied a chance to represent their country. Just askin. Not looking for a debate, just an answer.

Oh give me a break. Obviously there is more to this world than sport but I think unfair definitely fits here.

I’m trying to figure out how fairness comes into the situation. The circumstances of Covid are unique. It’s unfortunate, it stinks, it’s bad luck maybe, but why isn’t it fair? No other team can go either.

I say it's not fair because the world womens is cancelled . But look at what's goung on . Every other world championshipnis happening and has had no problems. Luge, bobsleigh, skiing, biathlon and men's worlds. The list goes on. It doesn't seem fair womens worlds is cancelled and Kerri once again and that team eont get to live their dream and rep Canada there. And no, it doesn't seem fair or right for any of the teams.

I know there are efforts being made to hold the event after the slams or in the fall but so far nothing is set. I feel bad for Kerri and the team. I feel bad for all the womens teams

You could make a legit non-ironic case that every member of team Einarson was the best in the tournament at their position. They were the best team all week, and in the most important game, it was only the Homan guile that kept her that close because it never felt like they were going to win that.

Love it. Haven't heard suck eggs in years. Right up there with sit on it.

If anything this win should be looked at even more difficult than normal. The strength of field with extra WC teams made it harder to win. Yes the top teams always rise to the top, but the path to get there was tougher, against tougher teams. Full disclosure, I was not hoping for Einarson, but will give credit where credit is due. They were the best team this week. Well done. If there ends up being a world's this year, Go Canada Go.

Are you saying that a team who gives up a steal in the ninth end and goes on to win the game has a tainted win? Seriously?

If they're looking to play the Women's Worlds in the Calgary bubble, why didn't they schedule it there for its original date?
They should play it between the Brier and the Men's Worlds.

By doing it the way they've done it, it sends the message that the Mixed Doubles and the 'Grand Slams' are more important than the Women's Worlds, which is absurd.
I can do without seeing the Mixed Doubles and the 'Grand Slams' - there's not much lost if those are not played.

Because there is Mixed Doubles already scheduled at the same time. And you need the logistics and there would be no way it makes sense since you have to bring teams from abroad on a 2 weeks notice AND tell mixed doubles teams to go home on a 2 weeks notice.

You need actual time to run an event like this in a pandemic. It's ridiculous that you're suggesting something like that. And if you don't care about Grand Slams, that's fine, but why would they lose their spot because Worlds were cancelled in Switzerland? It's not their fault. They had their spot locked in before we knew Women's World were not happening. It makes zero sense and when you're planning to have something like 8-9 other teams coming in. (Think Peterson, Einarson, Hasselborg, Kovaleva and Tirinzoni would already be in the bubble, not sure if Muirhead is doing the same)

And for a logistics standpoint, you would already have around 40% of the players in the bubble, so it's not hard to understand why it makes a lot more sense to play Women's Worlds after slams.

I don’t think ML said the win was tainted as much as he said she makes it harder on herself than her talent dictates it should be. I love baseball - we had a closer here in Cleveland named Bob Wickman who would seemingly walk the bases loaded before closing out just about every game. It put 20 years on my odometer, but I would never argue that he wasn’t great at his job. That’s Einarson.

Her ability to make a clutch shot seems unparalleled. I still think that graze last year where she had to sliver her rock straight left about 3 inches was one of the greatest shots I’ve ever seen.

Also, if Homan is getting that Jones level guile where she is in games and has shots to win despite being outplayed for the first 72 rocks - she’s in range of hitting another gear.

I guess it was the part where ML said that Einarson’s win was tainted because she didn’t finish Homan off professionally ( whatever that means) that made me think he said her win was tainted.

It's not ridiculous at all. If they can schedule and co-ordinate for the Men's Worlds to happen in the 'Calgary bubble', they could have just as easily done the same for the Women's Worlds.
This should have been done at the same time as the Men's Worlds was arranged to be played in Calgary. Then there would have been no question about Mixed Doubles or the 'Grand Slams' getting in the way. Those latter two events should have definitely been the lowest on the priority list for the 'Calgary bubble'.

The Women's Worlds was supposed to be played in Canada last year - so it obviously would not be a stretch to play it in Canada this year. As soon as the 'Calgary bubble' was thought of as an idea, the Women's Worlds should have been penciled in there, just like the Men's Worlds.
That the men get to play their Worlds at the normal time while making the women wait possibly until May to play an event that should be played in March - IF it is played at all - THAT is what's ridiculous.

The Women's World Championships were cancelled AFTER the bubble events had been scheduled. Bubble announced early December, WWC cancelled in February.

I think if it's safe to do so, hold the women's worlds in the Calgary bubble. Key word is IF? Hold the 2022 back in Switzerland. Each country gets bumped back 1 year. However, like the men's this year, is it worth infecting a province or country by having teams from around the world fly in with new variances of the pandemic, for the sake of a game. Again, for the sake of a game. My family health is much more important than if it trickles across the country. I do hope this Brier bubble goes without any troubles like the Scotties, but as far as worlds, why invite outside potential infectees that countries have banned travel to and from, to come here to Canada to do just that. Sometimes.....lives are worth more than TV revenue. Some may say too critical, others may say I'd rather see my mom alive than curling between Germany and Japan. A bit on the serious side, but, worth thinking about in these times. Just ask someone who's lost someone to covid.

^ Sigh...
I realize that.
What I'm saying - for the third time now - is that, as they viewed the 'Calgary bubble' as a potential safe spot for curling - thus scheduling several events for that location -, they should have AT THAT TIME included the Women's Worlds, just as they included the Men's Worlds.
At that time, Switzerland was obviously an unknown as to whether they'd play there or cancel it. As soon as the 'Calgary bubble' was thought of as a solution and a potentially safe place for curling to take place, they should have pulled the Women's Worlds from Switzerland and scheduled it in the 'Calgary 'bubble'. Instead, they prioritized the Mixed Doubles and the Grand Slams, which is questionable.

A bit on the serious side, but, worth thinking about in these times. Just ask someone who's lost someone to covid.

My first thought when word of curling in the 'Calgary bubble' came out was "That's crazy and irresponsible". At the time, Alberta was the province with one of - if not THE - highest rates of COVID-19 infections and deaths in Canada.

But they played the 'Scotties', and everything went well. Alberta's COVID-19 numbers are significantly better now than they were when the 'Calgary bubble' concept was announced.

With the variant threat being very real, I still believe that the most prudent, safest, and best thing to do would be to have none of this curling. But, at the same time, the selfish curling fan in me is happy that they are going ahead with it. Not being able to curl or to watch any live curling this winter has been difficult (but certainly not life threatening). It was quite enjoyable to finally watch live curling last week... and it will be nice to watch more live curling in the weeks to come.
But if something bad occurs within the 'Calgary bubble' - if any person in the bubble (be it a player or staff or anyone else) contracts the virus as a result of being in the bubble, and suffers damaging consequences, then the curling would clearly not have been worth it. I'm glad it's not my decision to make, and I don't envy the people making it.

Then again, realistically, don't we all have just as much chance (or even more) of contracting the virus at the grocery store or Walmart as the people in the 'Calgary bubble' have of contracting it within the bubble?
People in the curling bubble are being tested regularly. The same cannot be said of the shoppers at the grocery stores or Walmarts we visit.

I'm sure that when the bubble was being put together in November that they asked the Swiss organizers if they wanted to move the WWC. Obviously if they thought they would have to cancel the Swiss would've agreed. You can't just "pull" an event from someone who at the time thinks they can still pull it off.

Well - given Canada's position in the curling world, and the fact that Canada missed out on the Women's Worlds last year, I believe that if Curling Canada had made an effort to place the Women's Worlds in the 'Calgary bubble' (on its original date), it would have been put there.

Think about it - the 'curling world' (the different curling federations in various countries, the WCF, etc.) obviously agreed that the 'Calgary bubble' was a potentially safe place for curling to occur. The Men's Worlds would not have been placed there without such agreement. Meanwhile, all other curling venues were precarious, including Switzerland.
So, if a specific location is agreed upon as a potentially safe place to hold major events, it only makes sense that BOTH the Men's Worlds AND the Women's Worlds would be scheduled for that location.
