The curling duel between Canada and Sweden this Friday left a brutal discussion at the Winter Games with insults including accusations of cheating that led to two players having a really tense encounter.
The victory was for the Canadians by 8-6 Although the highlight was the fight between both teams, which quickly went viral on social networks.
Shortly before the end, the Swede Oskar Eriksson reproached the Canadian Marc Kennedy who had touched the stone twice after releasing it, trying to pull a picaresque. Kennedy found the comment really bad, going so far as to tell his rival “to hell”: “I haven’t done it even once.”
“Fuck you!” the Canadian insulted very angrily. To which Kennedy began to tell him that he could show him “a video after the game.”
“It’s two meters above the pig line,” he reiterated, to which Kennedy responded: “How about you walk around my house, dancing in it?”
Sweden protested over alleged double touchesclaiming that this was not legal. “It’s good. It’s sport. It’s the Olympic Games. Both teams are trying to win. Oskar accused us of cheating. I didn’t like it. I’ve been curling professionally for 25 years,” Kennedy said, according to Reuters, in the postgame.
