Inside Curling Year in Review

It’s time for our annual Holiday Special!  Kevin, Warren and Jim are joined by Rob Faulds and Ted Wyman for a round table review on this past year in curling (1:30). They discuss the big changes that took place with Curling Canada (3:45) as well as the emergence of Italy as the top of the heap in curling right now (6:00). They get into  potential improvements to Canada’s qualifying process and the fact that it is naturally leaning towards a 2 tier system (16:30).  Jim asks the group what we can expect from Jennifer Jones, as she never seems to slow down or lose passion for the sport (19:45). The discussion about blank ends is re-kindled again (23:00) and Rachel Homan’s great season is discussed (24:30). Joel Retornaz joins the guys to talk about his amazingly fast rise to success over the last couple of years, which sees his team currently ranked #1 in the world after winning the last 3 grand slams in a row (28:00). We look forward to seeing you all in 2024!!! Inside Curling is hosted by Kevin Martin, Warren Hansen and Jim Jerome. Recorded, Edited and Mixed by Mike Rogerson.
