This is what an Olympics curling disaster looks like
Everything went to hell, in one shot.
It takes something very special to deserve the phrase “curling disaster,” because honestly — what kind of disaster can happen in curling? This.

Yusuke Morozumi of Japan was trying to set up a blocking shot to keep the house guarded, when somehow, for some reason, he was too strong and took out his own stones. The shot was so bad it took Japan from a commanding scoring position, to none at all in an instant.
Japan would (thankfully) go on to win the game. Neither Japan nor Denmark was in the position to make it to the semi-finals, which is probably a good thing, because if this cost someone a medal — well, welp.
