Cheating allegations rock Canada-Sweden curling match in profane Olympic scene: You can fk off

A curling match between Canada and Sweden on Friday erupted with a profanity-laced back-and-forth over cheating allegations. Near the end of the contest, an 8-6 win for Canada’s Team Brad Jacobs over Sweden’s Team Niklas Edin, Oskar Eriksson of the Swedes appeared to accuse Canada’s Marc Kennedy of double-touching stones to gain an advantage. Kennedy didn’t take it well. “I haven’t done it once,” Kennedy said on the ice during an exchange caught on camera.“You can f–k off.”Eriksson doubled down. “I’ll show you a video after the game,” Eriksson said.

“I’ll show you a video where it’s two meters over the hog line.”“Come on, Oskar.Just f–k off,” Kennedy replied.Both sides appealed to the officials, with Canada also asking the umpires to keep an eye out for the issue.After the win, which moved Team Jacobs to 3-0, Kennedy said he wasn’t a fan of the accusations. “I don’t like being accused of cheating, so I told him what I thought of it,” he said, according to National Post.

“… It’s good for sport guys, it gets heated out there, it’s a battle, we’ve played each other a million times.”Eriksson did not speak with reporters, per the outlet. Edin, whose team is still without a victory through three matches during the Winter Games, took his teammate’s side. “In my opinion it’s kind of pretty clear what’s happening out there,” Edin said.“Why they [the Canadians] start screaming about it I’m not really sure.
