EDMONTON – OK, so Je Ho (Jimmy) Lee of Korea (photo by CurlingZone) got whacked. 12-nil.

Glenn Howard… what a big meanie!

All athletes inevitably do care about their performance but Team Korea’s efforts are, for a developing nation, praiseworthy, and rest assured they were suffering no illusions about beating the Canadians.

Have you heard the story about why Lee doesn’t throw with a broom? It’s a classic.

The crowds just love The Kid.

More tomorrow...
