Women Started Slow Today

I was at a Today taping and had to watch the Ladies from the Richmond Curling Club. Unfortunately, they did not have their A-game this morning. After going up 1-0, Deb missed another draw and ended up giving Bernard, the Canadian, 4 early, and our gals were never able to recover.

I saw Allison and Nat last night - they seemed in good spirits. I hope they can help rally the team as tonights contest against now becomes "must-win."

Below is the USOC prees release, but first I do need to mention that I have had another "small world" occurence. The State Department attache we had at the taping this morning used to serve with a South Carolina colleague of mine in Sao Paulo, Brazil of all places.....even as a student of network science, this small world stuff it is getting kinda weird.


Up next - lunch with PGA Tour player Dick Zokol.


From the USOC:

Debbie McCormick and the American ladies drop to 2-4 in the round robin standings after a poor shooting performance by three-time Olympian McCormick that hampered the team in a 9-2 loss to undefeated Canada. McCormick shot just 58 percent today. She alluded to a potential line-up change that would have her throw vice skip stones for tonight's matchup against the defending champions from Sweden to keep the team's playoff hopes alive.
