Canada’s Gushue to play for Olympic bronze in men’s curling after ‘hero shot’ against Sweden just misses curling TeamCanada Olympics Beijing2022
Gushue could have simply drawn for a single point and tied the game at 4-4 in the 10th end, but instead tried a runback double with his last rock, aiming to score two points and pull out a win over Sweden in the Olympic men’s curling semifinal.
Team Canada skip Brad Gushue calls out to his sweepers during semifinal men’s curling action against Sweden at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics on Thursday, Feb. 17, 2022.“If I had a shot to win the game I was going to take it, no matter what it was,” Gushue said of his decision in the 10th end. “It was an extremely difficult shot and we literally missed it by a whisker,” Gushue said. “Just before it hit I thought we had it made. It just came up more than I thought. At the hog line I was ready to celebrate. It’s frustrating even to talk about it, to be honest.”
It has been a disappointing Olympics overall for the Canadian curlers and Gushue was struggling to hold it together after the loss to Edin. “We haven’t been our best this week so if we can walk out of here with a bronze medal, we’d be pretty proud of ourselves. Sometimes, it’s what you get out of the weeks that shows the calibre of a team. If we can come through probably the worst week we’ve had as a team and get a bronze medal, I’d be pretty proud of us.”
