So as most of you probably know we just won the semi-final by taking 4 in the 10th end and winning by 1! The skip on the other team flashed her last hit to give us a chance for the 4 and it was insanely difficult to all keep our composure for the last shot but Britt made a flawless draw to give us the win!
So a couple days ago we learned that Curling is a very dangerous sport that requires a doctor on hand at all times or else we are not allowed to play. And of course being Italian these doctors do not always show up on time. So while waiting to go out on the ice we had a dance off with the rest of the teams, it was really fun and a good way to get to know some of the other people we were competing against. We also decided that we need to make up our own language with the USA team, North American, to fit in with the rest of the teams here. We are at a huge disadvantage only having one language which everyone understands!
Writing this is really really difficult as there are people constantly coming and going, cheering, screaming and just going nuts! So we are heading out to supper and next time you see us we will have a medal around our neck!

Holy F*#@ is right! What an awesome come back.

GOLD FOR CANADA. Congratulations! What an awesome game. Didn't go to work this morning as I didn't want to miss a moment of the game. Saw some of the pictures of the last shot - amazing! Katrine's expression, Hayley's feet off of the ice and the smiles on Heather and Britt says it all. What emotions you must be feeling. I know I am very proud of you all, but especially proud to be Katrine's mom. I look forward to seeing you all back in Calgary with the gold medals around you neck. Have a safe flight back.
You had a week where you had to "hurry hard", now it's time to
"party hard". Enjoy the rest of your time in Italy.
Louise
