In our final preview of the Olympic curling event that gets underway this week, we bring it to the home front and look at Team Homan and Team Jacobs' chances in Cortina. Brad Jacobs will look to improve on last year's World Bronze and Rachel Homan is searching for her first success at the Olympics. Standing in Team Jacobs' way is World #1 Bruce Mouat, who is the defending World champion and has been the World #1 for almost the entirety of this quadrennial. And as one of the lower-ranked teams in the event, can Rebecca Morrison make her mark or is it one quad too early?
We'll take a look at Great Britain's chances on both sides of the sheet, how much it might affect three of these teams to have some of their players involved in the Mixed Doubles event, and what Canada will need to do right to make the podium in Cortina. Plus, since it is our last preview, John and Robbie do the brave thing and make their final predictions for who ends up with the hardware.
