Craziest Curling Shot Ever?

Sweden’s Niklas Edin made what many are calling the “best” or “craziest” curling shot ever made against Norway at the 2023 world men’s curling championship in Ottawa. Edin needed to score two just to tie the game and force an extra end, but he seemed to face a problem of university-level physics. Not for long, however...

That's why he's the GOAT. And it's not even close...this coming from a Canadian 😊

When Russ Howard says it's the best shot he's ever seen in his life, you've really done something.

I watched this live. Talk about a circus shot! Even the Norway team applauded him.

[TheToledoTrumpton]

For the Swedes to make the shot against the Norwegians too; makes it extra special I would think.

[antonforsman]

The way it curls back into the point position in the end ❤

Out of this world. We're watching the game evolve before our eyes.

Niklas looks really pleased with himself. 👏👏👏

I always wanted to know how the stone would run if you spun it like that. Absolutely incredible. I was watching live but had to see this again. The skill of this shot will mostly go unnoticed unfortunately. The creativity is game changing.

That was incredible. An incredibly groundbreaking shot.

One of the best shots I’ve ever seen, hands down🙌

Any further Q of who is the GOAT of curling?

[MiffetBlue]

Nik Edin has officially dethroned Al Hackner. Well done curler, well done.

Something new had to happen or curling would dry up. It’s great that players are trying new ways to create new shots. Just what the game needs.

I first saw the Chinese team do it in Beijing and then I went and tried it and made some crazy draw practicing it. Then I saw Oskar do it. Now this... The spinner is here to stay!

I have never watched curling in my life, can someone explain to me (and probably others reading this comment) what made this shot so great?

[kenith]

Smarty pants Announcer said nope....but when the red spun out, he quickly ate his words😅😅😅

[grotgrusson]

Ha ha. After the shot, speaking with the manager, he says "Darn.., _that_ was easy"

[andreaseriksson]

I couldn't belive it live, I still can't believe it.

I always wondered what would happen if a shot is spun like a top. Now I know.
