We’re back after a week off for Thanksgiving and the 12th End Sports Network’s Price Atkinson talks with one of the eight curling teams competing at the upcoming 2018 U.S. Olympic Trials for Mixed Doubles in Alex Carlson (St. Paul, MN) and Derrick McLean (Bothell, WA). They talked about their preparation, dynamics on the ice including who makes most of the calls, Alex putting Omaha behind her and so much more!
​
And Price is joined by TESN’s Sean Murray to take a quick look back at the Olympic Trials in Omaha plus the Mixed Doubles Olympic Trials teams who’ll be competing for a spot at the upcoming 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang!

​This week's giveaway is an Introduction to Curling Book by Gabrielle Coleman.

Have you ever wondered, why the heck did they try to do that when you are watching curling on TV or on the web?  Or maybe when you are playing and your skip makes a call that leaves you... “puzzled”.  This book is divided into 5 parts to help you understand the Basics of the Game, Strategy and Tactics.  It outlines various scenarios and helps you put it all together so you can apply what you have learned on the ice. It’s a great gift and you can get it through the Amazon page at www.tesn.us.  But one lucky person is going to get it for free.  To enter, use the win widget on the upper right hand corner of this page.
