The U.S. women are down 7-6 to Russia in the 9th. Need a strong finish to avoid falling to 0-2 in round robin competition.

And well we're on the topic of curling, here's a story on the Browns, America's biggest curling family.

Meet the Browns, the biggest US curling family

Between the four natives of Madison, Wisconsin, the Browns have won 19 national titles in singles and mixed competition dating back to the mid-1980s, and — just for good measure — own the biggest curling retailer in the United States.

Lisa Zimmermann about to drop in for Germany... her double cork will hopefully come out today but probably in the final if at all

Russia just cleared the floor against U.S. women and drew a huge ovation from home crowd. Americans had two stones in trailing by 1, now nothing.

Making matters worse, Russia could be up 3 heading into the 10th if U.S. can't knock at least one stone out here.

And Russia with an emphatic end to the 9th end. U.S. women curlers trail 9-6 heading into the 10th, on the verge of falling to 0-2.

U.S. women curlers are in trouble. The American women slopestyle skiers, however, are looking strong. Julia Krass and Devin Logan are both already qualified for the finals and Keri Herman still has a shot.

And as Michael C. Lewis of the Salt Lake Tribune has pointed out, yes, there have been some mega crashes during these slopestyle trials. No serious injuries though.

At 27, Shaun White is the man in pipe. And snowboarders would love to stick it to the man. My column: denverpost.com/kiszla/ci_2510… via @denverpost
