Norway continue 17-0 run with win at Prague Open

Rune Lorentsen, Tone Edvardsen, Jostein Stordahl, Terje Rafdal
Norway won their third successive tournament and notched their 17th consecutive match without a loss, by taking the Prague Open this weekend. Norway's coach Thoralf Hognestad, who took back the reins this season after a year away from the game, took the opportunity to introduce two new players to international competition; Tone Edvartsen and Terje Rafdal. They played with the experienced back end of Rune Lorentsen and his vice, Jostein Stordahl.

Germany, skipped by Marcus Sieger, who threw 3rd stones, were tied with Norway and had hammer going into the final end, but surrendered a single for their only loss, 6-5.

The Italians, though winless, had three of their matches decided by a single point.

I assume it was Armstrong over Daw? Did Jim and Chris actually have a meaningful conversation? I would think if Chris were to get back, tha Darryl's nose might be a bit out of joint.
