Nice call. The benefactors of the biggest choke, by far, in the Olympics.
I never stopped watching during the Buffalo Bills / Houston Oilers game.
Why? Because anything can happen in sports (loosely applied to curling,
I know).
I don't leave sporting events early, and thus I can see the Sabres
destroy the Queefs playoffs chances by coming back from a 5-1 deficit in
the third period to win 6-5 in regulation. I can see Penn State coming
back against Ohio State for Joepa to win #324.
But this? I will turn off events where I know that I could win (and I
say this without exaggeration). You have a 2 point lead going in the
last end, and you can't protect that? All you have to do is hit your
opponent's rocks. Done.
I still have no idea how this was choked away, because I turned this
off. That's how remote the chance of a comeback was.

nothing can compare with that dutch coach who told his skater to switch
lanes, and thus DQd him out of a sure gold medal.

That's a mental error, and not by the athlete. In terms of an actual
crumbling under pressure, with physical performance being affected by a
lack of nerve, the Canadian chykstone curlers were the absolute worst.

er, choking often manifests itself in mental errors, and there's no
reason why chokes by coaches shouldn't count.
and it was the worst of these games.

Perhaps, however in terms of an actual crumbling under pressure, with
physical performance being affected by a lack of nerve, the Canadian
chykstone curlers were the absolute worst, without any doubt at all.

Chris Webbers exist everywhere, though.
