Real men show emotion and vulnerability. 1:35 of this interview 💔 @BradGushue.
One of the rawest interviews I’ve ever seen from Brad Gushue. Tears in his eyes. Watch the whole thing. When he goes to the virtual family screen. And breaks down when he sees his family. At 1:35 mark. He wanted it so bad for family and country.

The Ross Harstone Sportsmanship award means a lot to me. This Brier has been an incredible experience through a difficult time in my life. The other players in the event are so kind but also fierce competitors. I appreciate all of them am so honoured. @CurlingCanada @TSNCurling.

A special moment forever for me. Thank you all. ❤️.
TAKE A BOW COLIN HODGSON . His last time leaving the Brier ice after announcing his retirement from the four-person game. Curled 100% today. He’s provided us all so many memorable moments and made a difference on and off the ice. Congratulations @C_hodgy #cbccurl

Thank you to all of the teams at the Women's World Curling Championships for going through what you had to for your country, for your fans, your family, friends and the masses. The uncertainty is not easy. The isolation is not easy. You nailed it and I appreciate your efforts.

An amazing and classy message by @KEinarson . That moment was a powerful one for me and anyone who knows @BryanMudryk realizes he would never try to take away anything from them. He is such a great guy and we are so lucky to have him in our sport.
We have noticed some negative comments about @BryanMudryk asking Kerri about the passing of her brother following the game. Please take a minute to hear from @KEinarson regarding the situation. #STOH2020 #TeamCanada 🇨🇦

I've played my entire career against @gwalker71 and looked up to him a lot. One of the hardest guys to play against but also one of the most fun. Classy and kind as a junior and in men's play. He could have played any position, yet excelled at lead. A great example for future 🌟.
Geoff Walker's Team Canada teammates speak about how his calm demeanour and consistent play helps them succeed. #WMCC2023

Make sure to remember AFTER the Olympics how many people are saying to support women's sports. More funding, more sponsorship/ corporate partnerships. Women's sports are clearly something people get behind. Extend it after this specific spotlight is gone.

It sounds worse the more you read it.
Timing a pregnancy can be stressful and difficult for a lot of women athletes. A rule that discriminates against some women competing in the same national field is troubling. Please give everyone the same opportunity @CurlingCanada

I want to make it clear that the officials at national events are volunteers (except for one from my understanding) and spend a lot of their time every year to help create a fair environment. They are wonderful to work with and fulfill their duties to the best of their abilities.

Intolerance and racism is alive and well. We must educate and work together on becoming more inclusive. I'm proud of my heritage, OUR heritage.
@C_hodgy @JohnSiteman @WPointmeier Are you also Canadian or just Metis? So disgusting when the curlers won the opportunity to go to the Olympics and they were draped in indigenous blankets with indigenous drummers. Have you always been Metis or did you jump on the bandwagon.

I'm gonna go ahead and say I feel it's pretty unlikely we will see curling on tv with where it's at. But hey, I could be wrong. I just wanna see people get back to their families.

I don't have as much confidence inside as I show other people. And I'm okay with that and it helps to say it out loud. I want other people to be able to tell other people about that too. #BellLetsTalk #BellLetsTalkDay #BellLetsTalk #BellLetsTalkDay.

The thing that is not normal is that you believe you should determine what people should wear or not wear. Clothing can be an amazing expression and a beautiful thing.
This isn't normal and your kids should not grow up thinking this is normal.
