Olympics
From the day her women’s team won the Canadian Olympic Curling Trials in December of 2017, Homan has faced one crush after another.
It began with a sixth place finish at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang.
It progressed in 2019, 2020 and 2021 with defeats in the Scotties Tournament of Hearts final.
And it came full circle this week, when she and her partner, John Morris, crashed out of medal contention at the Olympic mixed doubles tournament in Beijing on Monday.
“We were fighting for every inch there. We made some great shots when needed and (Morris) was great all week. I wish I could have made some more.”
Had he “made something else” Homan and Morris would have been playing for medals on Tuesday instead of preparing to go home.
