Canada’s Brad Gushue and Jennifer Jones are now both out of the gate in Beijing and looking sharp as Kevin and Warren bring you up to speed on all the action with Gushue improving to 2-0 and Jones off to a 1-0 start. The guys also reflect on Ben Hebert’s comments from Wednesday’s episode, and they explain the differences in pressure between playing in this tournament versus the Brier.
Kevin answers a question from a listener about why Sweden’s Oskar Eriksson sometimes leans but doesn’t sweep a stone as we saw during mixed doubles play and adds how he teaches junior curlers sweeping techniques at his academy.
Warren and Kevin wrap things up throwing down their picks for Draws 3 and 4 for the men’s division plus Draw 3 on the women’s side. For all the latest curling odds, check out Coolbet.
