Hopp Schwiiz! Kevin and Warren share their takeaways from the women's worlds where Switzerland's Silvana Tirinzoni swept the field for gold and Canada's Kerri Einarson claimed bronze. Rachel Homan has added Tracy Fleury to her roster for next season and the guys discuss how they think it’ll work out. It’s high stakes in Las Vegas with the men’s worlds just around the corner and we’ve got the top picks to go all-in on.
The World Curling Federation implemented the no-tick rule during the women’s worlds and Kevin and Warren weigh in on how it went down during our Hot Rocks Topic. This week’s Mailbag question asks: Should external factors like sweeping and line call affect how shots are judged by scorekeepers?
Finally, Kevin tells a tale in Storytime about the unique way an ice-maker pebbled all the sheets at once in Scotland ... with a Scottish terrier by his side.
Team Tirinzoni coach Pierre Charette joins the show to discuss his Swiss squad winning a third consecutive world championship, how they managed to bounce back from disappointment in Beijing, how he got involved in coaching, how his team practises for the draw-to-the-button shootout and what he thinks about the no-tick rule. Charette also explains what Team Tirinzoni has done to improve and separate themselves from the field plus how they’re able to balance curling with off-ice careers.
