Episode 46: Bella-issima: A Mixed Doubles Recap | Broom Brothers: A Curling Podcast

The Mixed Doubles tournament at the Olympics has concluded, and history has been made as Swedish siblings Isabella and Rasmus Wranå stand alone atop the podium at the end of a crazy and chaotic week in Cortina. Rasmus becomes the seventh curler to win a second Olympic gold, Sweden becomes the second nation after Canada to win a gold in all three curling disciplines, and Cory Thiesse becomes the first American woman to win a curling medal. And what a final it was, as Bella put up a 97% stat line to carry the Swedes to the gold in a wonderful game of curling. This week also felt like the breakout party for Korey and Cory stateside and we discuss the online discourse around Korey’s exuberance. We also take a look at the Bronze Medal game between Italy and Great Britain, and how much it meant for the Italian curlers to win on home soil. And of course, it was a disappointing Olympics on the Mixed Doubles side for Canada, so we give our thoughts on what went wrong and respond to some of the criticism online about Canada’s approach and weigh in on where things might have to change moving forward.
