Are these British commentators or ones on the official OBS stream?

Eurosport. I think it was their own commentators as it was on the official channel rather than a Eurosport Player OBS feed. Although to be fair to them, it is pretty much a Scotland team that happens to be playing for TGB.

The shuster story is great. This year team USA decided they didn’t want him, they invited some new people to the curling training center so he took some other rejects, formed a team, and played their way into their Olympic berth versus USA curling’s team.

I only just read the whole backstory two days ago and it's so good.


That's fantastic and I love how the skip came in and started sweeping behind the stone.

John Shuster got so mad at a missed shot against Norway that he spilled his drink all over himself and had to go and steal his coach's pants in order to finish the game. The deep and sordid backstory of Team USA.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Team USA put on the grey pants, uniting the aggressiveness of the black pants with the thoughtfulness of the white.
