Announcer before the shot: This will be the best shot in history if he makes this. Curling world after the shot: This was the best shot in the history of curling.

This may be the most unbelievable shot ever played in this game. No doubt. My jaw dropped when I saw it.

Loved the congrats from the Norway team too

Fun fact, Niklas Edin plays quite a lot of pool, and he's not bad at all. Just outside the Swedish Elite-rankings. In pool, you sometimes use a lot of side-spin on the cue-ball to throw the object-ball. My guess is that all the pool-practice paid off right there. Amazing shot!

The swedish crowd at the end chanting ”årets sten” (stone of the year)🎉

Nothing is impossible to King Niklas, the GOAT! He came, he saw, he did. Bravo!!!!

Firstly it had to work, it did work, secondly it had to score, it did score. We watched & we were amazed at the imagination & skill we witnessed. I have watched it many time & still I am amazed. Thank you Niklas Edin

Incredible shot and incredible sportsmanship

[dannycarlow]

I think this shot solidifies his spot as the greatest curler ever. We all knew he was great. The creativity is a game changer.

He or anyone could try that shot a 100 times and I'm pretty sure it would be a 99% failure. Shot of the year without a doubt.😳😳Yet so humble!

[lodestar]

That is insane. I totally understand curling and i do say that this is absolutely mindboggling. genius.

[weatherdog]

Absolutely unreal, Edin plays the sport on cheat mode sometimes.

Jeff Stoughton from Manitoba made one of these shots in the late 90’s. It was either at a Brier or in the provincial playdowns. It hit opponents shot rock away and stuck to score 3.
This man can throw anything and make it work.

We are witnessing the evolution 🧬 of curling take place. Teams will now practice spinning techniques and it will be the new meta in 10 years

I shouted out loud in my office when I saw this live.

[thescream]

There has never been a crazier curling shot.

[barbarawarnock]

I thought he was throwing it away. OMG and then that shot that stole the show

[DralenDragonfox]

Physics takes a holiday! Just absolutely unreal.

[Per.G.Andersson]

I saw it on live streaming. I’m so happy.

[bojnebojnebojne]

Any competitor would appreciate something like that, it's super risky but doing it and nailing it?
Man, that is respect!
