In curling, do you bring your own stones (subject to size and weight checks)?

I'd have to look it up but I'm saying no. They are assigned different colors for each match. Those aren't team colors. So, that tells me the stones are the responsibility of the venue.

3 on 3 OT hockey may not be very traditional, but it is edge of your seat intense in a setting like that. Love to see the USA beat Canada in everything, but hockey is the sweetest. Hope the men's team gets the chance on Sunday...

Her dad had his hand over his heart and was singing along with the star spangled banner with emotion. You could tell he’s is a proud father and proud American. Incredible story on this girl and she’s the polar opposite of the stereotype figure skater. But she crushed it in everyone of her performances. Going home with a team gold and the singles women’s gold. Her life is changed forever.
