Norway's Surprising Curling Victory over Canada | Day -1 | Winter Olympics 2018 | PyeongChang

Canada and Norway met in their first round robin match of the mixed doubles Curling. Canada's Kaitlyn Lawes and her team mate John Morris both won curling Gold in the Team event at the 2014 Sochi Games, and so were expected to challenge for a medal. But, their opponents Kristin Skaslien and Magnus Nedregotten showed early on that they would be difficult to beat.

Norway went into the final end with a one-point lead, but Canada had the hammer. Skaslien's last delivery saw two of their stones stop close to each other in the centre of the house, making it extremely difficult for their opponents to remove them. Lawes throw didn't make enough contact with her own stone to knock it into the button, which gave Norway two points and a surprise victory. It ended Canada 6, Norway 9.

Curling: mopping skills

To all people that is uneducated about this sport,

The stone must inside the circle to get points. And they must knock out other team stone from circle so they are unable to win.

Why they are mopping is to make momentum. By mopping it will increase the stone length from 5 meters into 6 meters. It is huge difference in this sport.

Why they are shouting? It's because the soundwave able to maintain the stone speed. It is huge difference too for this sport to get near the circle. And not only that, the shouting is for commanding the sweeper what to do.

Edit: they even explaining in this video why the norwegian screaming is for maintaining the speed
