Overheard at #CurlingNightInAmerica taping: Have you heard about @beadzbydre ? Not only do I own #BeadzbyDre I gifted 2 of them to 🐐 @niklasedin & he wore them throughout #WMCC2021 *fangirl squee* The #curlingGOAT has both the Keystone (originally designed by Dreylin in honor of Kaitlyn Lawes) and the Ali (first bracelet Dreylin designed). I like to wear the Ali and Keystone bracelets together w/ the Beach. I highly recommend folks check out BeadzByDre to find out more about the history of both the bracelets & their designer, especially if you want to support a young man while channeling your inner curling legend. With or without #NikEdinsHat . . Word of warning for international folks since BeadzByDre is based in Canada: I ordered my #bracelets on March 16th intending for them to be a birthday present for myself (my birthday is April 1st) and Nik’s bracelets timed for Worlds which he received w/o incident. Unfortunately, the first shipment got lost so I didn’t get the replacement bracelets until 2 months later and only after Dreylin contacted FedEx. I guess better late than never - I still mourn the loss of the Team Kevin Koe toque I won on FB last year that you can’t buy anywhere that I never received, presumably due to C19 related international shipping issues (I won something in the Sandra Schmirler Foundation auction after the Brier/Scotties that was a full month delayed and only after the foundation opened an inquiry w/ the shipping company). . . Olympic gold medalist Matt Hamilton not only knows about BeadzByDre but was also seen wearing one of the bracelets during CNIA. I actually had a funny moment w/ the legendary Sue Cassidy in the bathroom in Irvine of all places. We were washing our hands and she asked if I knew about the bracelets so I showed her my wrist. Turns out we were both wearing multiple bracelets and twinning w/ the Ali, so of course we had to take a pic. https://www.instagram.com/p/CTUmVDSFHHQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

*fangirl squee* I might be typing this from beyond the grave, or at the very least the floor, because fangirl down! I received a signed #WMCC2021 jersey from @chrisplys vice of @teamshustercurling along with some cute #curling #fanart #stickers 😍 I’m so happy to add this to my collection. Thank you Chris for my present!!! I’m beyond over the moon. . . Thank you #TeamShuster for securing USA’s spot at the next Olympics #Roadto2022 I hope you all have a wonderful summer break and come back fierce in pursuit of success at the next Olympics. #JohnShuster #MattHamilton #JohnLandsteiner #TeamToyota #HardlineNation #OrleansCasino #sunday #weekend #nofilter https://www.instagram.com/p/COqHmipjkFw/?igshid=isaph6yykigl

Good morning #curling fans! Don’t miss 🐐 @niklasedin skip of @teamniklasedin on the Inside Curling #podcast w/ Kevin Martin & Warren Hansen available now! podcast.sportsnet.ca/inside-curling . . If you follow curling on Twitter, you’ve probably seen the tweets about the upcoming podcast. If not, you should totally check them out because they included a couple of GSOC GIFs. Gotta love how they called him Pool Shark 🎱🦈 I can’t wait til the rest of the world joins me in referring to him as GOAT 😉 . . NGL, it was kinda cute when Johan talked about trying out other things outside of curling in his journey to become the legendary curler he is now - it was a brief comment, but he said he’s a terrible dancer 😂 Still didn’t get a list of the 10+ sports he played as a kid before he found curling at an older age than other elite curlers (he was 13). Some of the curling beginnings/history may be familiar if you’ve heard his episode of John Cullen’s podcast (also highly recommended). . . Bummed the 8am draws of the GSOC aren’t streamed since I have the YareTV package. Team Edin faces off against Team Koe in the first draw. I wonder if my #Icevengers have enough in the tank to win a Slam (or two) or if the grueling #WMCC2021 experience tapped them out. I’m always rooting for them to win everything. . . 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 #NiklasEdin #Bionik #NinjaThor #PoolShark #KatnikEveredin #DrNik #GOAT #EdinForTheWin #TeamEdin #athletes #olympians #sports #wintersports #worldchampion #europeanchampion #TeamSweden #Swedish #lilterror #HejaSverige #SidenjöPojken #SEEDERNSHURPAWYKAEN #IBELIEVEEDINWILLWIN 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 https://www.instagram.com/p/CNr2WtRHgAN/?igshid=3z3w57h85gyn

CONGRATULATIONS Team Sweden on what is probably the most unusual World Men’s Curling Championship to date especially given the uncertainties leading up to the playoffs 🥌💙💛🇸🇪 I applaud your ability to push through and never give up despite early losses and close games. I’m kind of sad that the extent of your #WMCC2021 victory celebrations seem limited to balcony funtimes, but I guess that comes with the bubble life territory. I hope the historic win fuels your drive even further to win the ultimate prize - Olympic gold in 2022. In the meantime, I hope you continue to add more titles to your already impressive resume. Here’s to winning more Slams and the next European Championships 😉 LOL at Dirty Daniel for the mask fail. . . 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 #NiklasEdin #OskarEriksson #RasmusWranå #ChristofferSundgren #DanielMagnusson #FredrikLindberg #MariaPrytz #TeamSweden #Sweden #Swedish #EdinForTheWin #athletes #olympians #curling #sports #wintersports #worldchampions #europeanchampions #lilterror #HardlineNation #HejaSverige #IBELIEVEEDINWILLWIN 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 . . #Repost @donhedge This was a special one in many ways. The pandemic, the postponed playoffs and after such a long time seeing friends from afar but still having to stay...well...afar. Nothing was really the same. Nothing accept for one thing, this group’s ability to perform astonishing curling when it matters the most. Once again, it was enough to claim the World Championship title🥇🏆 This was a special one in many ways. It was Maria’s first, the team’s third in a row and Niklas’ fifth as a skip. This group never seizes to amaze me. Every individual have their unique talent and expertly honed skill set but it’s by combining them and grow as a unit that we make the success of this team. We had tough games, emotions both inside and out but layered it with many smiles and laughter and we stuck together. Thank you all for making this championship special in so many ways! #worldchamps #squadgoals https://www.instagram.com/p/CNnaiuAnsZZ/?igshid=1d8el5dlfm03u

Congratulations are in order for the still #undefeated Norwegian team! That was a big win over @teamniklasedin earlier today. I’m still in shock that Steffen pulled the bait and switch on us with the beanie. Nevertheless, #beaniemagic still continues. I’ve seen several articles and betting pools leading up to and at the beginning of Worlds and most had Canada winning, Sweden second, and Norway wasn’t even on people’s radars. Now the #Norwegians are poised to play dark horse spoiler in this tournament. It’s certainly making things interesting. #WMCC2021 #TeamNorway . . 🥌❤️🇳🇴 🥌❤️🇳🇴 🥌❤️🇳🇴 🥌❤️🇳🇴 Don’t forget to follow the team on IG and FB and the team members on IG. #MagnusVågberg - @magnusvagberg #MarkusHøiberg - @marshkus #TorgerNergård - no IG 🙁 #SteffenWalstad - @steffenwalstad . . 🥌❤️🇳🇴 🥌❤️🇳🇴 🥌❤️🇳🇴 🥌❤️🇳🇴 . . #Repost @team.minera.skifer A back-and-forth game against Sweden, got a few needed breaks, and pulled out the 9-8 win against defending champion Sweden. #wmcc2021 #hjertetioppdal #oppdalsåklart #norgeimitthjerte #norway #curling https://www.instagram.com/p/CNRJCiTnUUp/?igshid=1d39ef9l4y6nl

Let me introduce you to #Johan the #curling #goat This is the second #crochet goat I’ve made (I gifted the first one to swimming GOAT Katie Ledecky). No surprise here, Johan was inspired by 🐐 @niklasedin 😉 He has a curling stone, Thor’s hammer, and a small black hat - an homage of sorts to the Hardine hat Nik’s been wearing during #WMCC2021 I tried and failed 3x making the hat, it’s still too small for Johan’s head but it’s the best I can do for now. I also don’t have black duct tape (yet). If I get some black duct tape I can turn my own hat and Johan’s hat into #NikEdinsHat . . Confession: I’ve been getting quite irritated whenever commentators refer to Nik as 2x and reigning World Champion because I know he’s a 4x World Champion who’s going for his record breaking 5th title and 3 in a row. I know I’m biased as @teamniklasedin ‘s biggest fan, but several commentators keep saying it, and I’ve read through the media guide, there’s at least 2 places where it clearly says Nik is a 4x World Champion, why are commentators repeatedly taking away 2 of the World titles he rightfully earned? I can’t help but wonder if people are actually rooting against him to break the records he’s trying to break this year because then that would really solidify his status as a legendary GOAT and create a resume unlikely to ever be broken. I mean, I’ve spent enough time in the FB groups & YT chat to know that there are people who root for certain teams at certain draws just for the simple fact that they want every single team to carry at least one loss this event. My Swedes lost game 1 so they’re not gonna go undefeated, but I certainly hope they win every single game left in the round robin and win both the SF and final games next weekend. #greatestofalltime . . 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 #NiklasEdin #Bionik #NinjaThor #PoolShark #KatnikEveredin #DrNik #GOAT #EdinForTheWin #TeamEdin #sports #worldchampion #europeanchampion #TeamSweden #Swedish #lilterror #HejaSverige #crochetersofinstagram #crocheter #crochetersofig #SidenjöPojken #SEEDERNSHURPAWYKAEN #IBELIEVEEDINWILLWIN 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 https://www.instagram.com/p/CNQRWUtnv9w/?igshid=1hi3btgqolm32
