Our conclusion to the five-headed panel debate on the Olympic curling fields
The Rock Logic podcast returns for part 2 of the official Olympic curling preview with the impressive five-headed panel:
• Host Kevin “Curl With Math” Palmer, a senior columnist with The Curling News
• Cortina-bound host broadcaster and two-time Canadian women’s champion skip Chelsea Carey
• Matt Hall, champion competitor and oddsmaker at CoolBet.com
• Legendary NBA stats man Ken Pomeroy, now deeply into curling for a few years at doubletakeout.com
• CurlingZone and Curling Stadium maestro Gerry Geurts
Part 1 of this episode can be found here.
In this final segment, the rule change discussion is wrapped up (“controversy and chaos, just for fun”) plus and the panel’s top three men’s picks are announced.
The women’s field is then discussed in detail, with some concerns aired regarding Team Canada – they’ve lost five of their last eight games coming into Italy, and skip Rachel Homan has missed the podium in two previous Games.
The episode wraps with some thoughts on mixed doubles.
