Curling meets The Strip as the Men's World Championships at the Orleans Arena, Las Vegas from Saturday 31 March to Sunday 8 April. This will be the first Men's World Championship at which the field has been extended to 13 teams and they are - Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland and United States.
As in the Women's Championships, Scotland are represented by a new team, comprising of Alternate Ross Paterson, Lead Hammy McMillan, Second Bobby Lammie, Third Grant Hardie and Skip Bruce Mouat. Their coach is Alan Hannah. Again the Olympic team (Kyle Smith) had to take part in a Play-off against the Scottish Champions, and again the Scottish Champions won through.
The competition will be almost at the end of the round-robin games before I can post again, but anyone interested can watch some of the games on Eurosport.
