seashmore 633 Report post Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Is there anything you're looking forward to? I'm stoked about curling, but especially the newly added Mixed Doubles event. In addition to the traditional four-person men's and women's teams, USA (and about 7 other countries) have a team of one man, one woman. The structure is a little bit different, but those differences make it more exciting for the people who think shuffleboard and chess on ice is boring. I won't get to watch much, since it mostly airs on cable after late night, but I'll somehow survive. Also, the brother-sister duo repping Team USA have spitfire personalities, which also makes the event more entertaining. (They'll be mic'd for televised games.) #HamFam Edited February 9, 2018 by seashmore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sunday21 3587 Report post Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Look! President Hinckley carrying the Olympic Torch! Doesn’t he look pleased? Such a lovely man. ❤️ And look there is Pres Monson looking so happy for his friend and colleague. I am so amazed by the Pres & the quorum. They are such gentle and kind people. The opening and closing ceremonies are always great. Everyone looks so happy to be a part of such a great event. http://www.ldsliving.com/President-Hinckley-Donny-Osmond-12-Other-Mormons-Who-Have-Carried-the-Olympic-Torch/s/82762 Edited February 9, 2018 by Sunday21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TLDR: it's a comeback story within a comeback story of Olympic proportions. http://www.startribune.com/minnesotas-john-shuster-leads-usa-to-curling-gold-at-olympics/475036813/#1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still am, actually. It was such a good game, too! Super glad they replayed it on network tv that afternoon so more people could get a taste. haha...my YW really loved seeing me get all fangirl about it in our lesson on Sunday, which was about treating our bodies as a temple. I used Shusters story (and curling) as a way to emphasize mind over matter and developing self mastery of our bodies. 1 anatess2 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
