UK [email protected] +44 1738 451 630 LE GRUYERE EUROPEAN CURLING CHAMPIONSHIPS 2009, Aberdeen, Scotland 12 DECEMBER 2009 – DAY 8 – Men’s Final Niklas Edin made a triumphant debut at this level when he led his Swedish men’s team to a 6-5 extra- end victory over Switzerland’s Ralph Stöckli in the final of the Le Gruyère European Curling Championships in Aberdeen on Saturday. Niklas and his team – Sebastian Kraupp, Fredrik Lindberg and Viktor Kjall – blanked the first end before scoring three in the second. The Swiss responded with two points in the third end and Sweden moved into a 4-2 lead with a single in the fifth. Switzerland levelled the score in the sixth end and did so again in the tenth to tie the game at 5-5 and force the extra end. In that end, Edin made last stone advantage count and finally scored the one he needed for victory with a precision hit and stay around a front guard. “It feels very good to be going home with the trophy. There was no particular shot that won us the game, it was the whole game,” said Edin after the game. ”We got off to a good start with a three but we had to play a good shot to win.” “The team played so well.” added Edin “At the beginning of the tournament, we struggled but we played really, really well for the play-offs.” “We had a really great week,” said Swiss Skip Markus Eggler.

  • Curling-EM: Edin I Tabelltoppen Efter Vinst Mot Italien
    Foto: © WCF / Richard Gray 2016-11-21 21:16 CET Curling-EM: Edin i tabelltoppen efter vinst mot Italien Lag Edin hade en tuff drabbning mot Italien men kopplade greppet om segern efter två viktiga poäng i den åttonde omgången. – Det var en jämn match där vi hade lite problem med farterna i början. Men efter tre omgångar hade vi bättre koll på förutsättningarna och tog över allt mer. Efter det kändes det mycket bra, säger Oskar Eriksson. Var tålamod nyckelordet för matchen och segern? – Det stämmer. Italien spelade väldigt defensivt och ville hålla nere siffrorna och samtidigt gjorde vi några små misstag som gjorde att det höll sig jämnt ganska länge, säger Oskar Eriksson. 3-3 efter sju spelade omgångar blev 5-3 när lag Edin höjde tempot och det blev till slut seger med siffrorna 6-4. Lag Edin med Niklas Edin, Oskar Eriksson, Rasmus Wranå, Christoffer Sundgren och Henrik Leek är nu på en delad förstaplats i tabellen tillsammans med Norge och Schweiz. > Alla resultat från herrarnas femte omgång och aktuell tabell Le Gruyere European Curling Championships 19-26 november 2016 Le Gruyere European Curling Championships inleds imorgon lördag och då väntar premiärmatcher för lag Edin mot Tyskland kl 10:00 (svensk tid) och för lag Hasselborg mot Norge kl 15:00 (svensk tid).

  • USA Olympic Curling Team Team Shuster
    2018 Olympic Gold Medal Curling Team 2018 Gold Medal USA Olympic Curling Team Team Shuster Joe Polo, John Landsteiner, Matt Hamilton, Tyler George, John Shuster Team Shuster’s Road To Gold John Shuster is the kind of guy everyone wants to see succeed but his road to success has not been without a few bumps along the way. After a disappointing ninth place finish in Sochi, USA Curling held a combine for the country’s best curlers, meant to identify 10 athletes who would be asked to be on the high performance team. When the team was announced, Shuster’s name wasn’t on the list. The three-time Olympian was crushed. Jilted by the governing body, denounced by fans during the Sochi Games, Shuster was at a common crossroads in sports and in life: accept defeat and find something else to do or work even harder and earn his spot back on the team. He did what great competitors do. He reached down deep and put together a team of his peers that were also cast aside and got back to work at the rink. “People coined us Team Rejects,” he told the West Fargo Pioneer. Soon enough, the rejects started to win. First, they won the 2015 national championship, defeating all those who had made the USA Curling Team. Team Shuster went on to finish fifth at the world championships later that year. After Team Shuster’s success, USA Curling saw the promise and brought all four members of Team Shuster back into the fold. The results kept on coming for Team Shuster: a bronze medal at the 2016 World Championships, the U.S.

    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2018 Remarks Honoring the 2018 United States Olympic and Paralympic Teams April 27, 2018 The President. Well, thank you very much. This is a very proud day, and I'm thrilled to stand here and welcome Team U.S.A. to the White House. Great job. Thank you very much. What a job. So, 2 months ago, America sent each of you to the Winter Olympics to represent the Red, White, and Blue. And you did an awfully good job of doing it, I will tell you. I think she's more famous than I am. [Laughter] Great job. You performed and you made us very proud. And many of you came home as champions wearing a bronze, silver, or a gold medal. And you had very big crowds. And I have to say, without certain backing, those crowds were not looking good. But all of a sudden, those crowds got very, very big, very powerful, and it became a very, very successful Olympics aside from everything else. They had a lot more people show up than they thought. And you think you know why, right? But a lot of good things are happening right now over there, literally as we speak. And the Olympics really helped to bring it all together. It was a big help. So just in that respect, it was something very terrific. Through sheer drive and dedication and commitment, you've risen to the top of your fields and the highest levels of your sports. You overcame setbacks, you powered through obstacles, and you never, ever quit.
