The Canadian women’s curling team was the latest to be put in the crosshairs at the Winter Olympics as they were determined to have committed the same violation as their male colleagues. The Canadian teammates were called for 'double-touching,' or touching the stone again after releasing it, against Switzerland at the Milan Cortina Games.
The call came in the first end of the matchup on Saturday. Officials called a foul, saying Rachel Homan touched her stone twice.
