Sweden knew Canada’s Marc Kennedy was a notorious cheater.

So they set up a camera at the ‘hog line’ to record it.

And caught him doing it at the Olympics.

    Having curled myself,

    dude…people do this when they over-rotate the stone after letting go of the handle. It’s not about steering or momentum forward. a slight drag will reduce the rotation.

    There is no reason to be pointing a finger on release.

      I would love to see someone go to a curling rink and demonstrate this this is remotely possible.

      There is no reason to be pointing a finger on release.

      I completely agree. There is absolutely no reason to do it, because there is no chance it will do anything.
