Touch screen to de-mute, adjust volume etc. In the 15th episode of Season 11, the 2 Girls – Lori and Mary – dig into a variety of curling event, team and trend discussion points. These include: • The crappy weather • Mary’s upcoming week in Grande Prairie, Alta. for the Canadian Masters championship • The crappy weather • The recent world women’s curling championship – the amazing young Swiss, what do young Canadian teams need to do to break through like that, the delightful but confusing Japanese, and what will happen to Team Einarson. THAT is EXACTLY when The Girls got the breaking news – in the middle of recording this episode – of the big split on Team Einarson, which launched another discussion point! Da Girls then continued with other team roster and retirement announcements that have swept the curling world in just a little over a week. Finally, it was time for some chatter about the Canadian mixed doubles shootout, the world men’s championship in Utah, USA, the original Team Schmirler and that wild gold medal game finish in Paralympic wheelchair curling. As usual, multiple photos and videos are embedded in the media player file to provide a fully enhanced podcast experience. Enjoy the episode, which can also be viewed on The Curling News YouTube channel.
