Oly trials ease pain of Brier loss
By JIM BENDER -- Winnipeg Sun
A few years back, losing the Brier final would have been devastating for any top-level competitive curler.
And while the Brier will always remain the Masters of that sport, there is a new height for them to reach now. And that is the Olympics, especially for Canucks. Make it to the Olympics as a Canadian curler and you're almost guaranteed a medal -- there's a good chance its colour will be yellow.
