Umm, didn't Catriona Lemay-Doan win gold in SLC after carrying the flag?

The 'Curse' is, and always was, crap. The results of Canada's flag bearers over the years have been very good. Sure, Browning and Brassard didn't win (although Brassard had a gold medal from 1994) but for the most part the flag bearers have won a fair amount of medals. It's the media that blows it out of proportion.

And yes, congrats to the Women's team!
