    Fun fact, Niklas Edin plays quite a lot of pool, and he's not bad at all. Just outside the Swedish Elite-rankings. In pool, you sometimes use a lot of side-spin on the cue-ball to throw the object-ball. My guess is that all the pool-practice paid off right there. Amazing shot!

    • @snoski
      @snoski ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Honestly, as a pool player, it weirded me out that this was considered the best shot in the history of curling. Obviously, I'm not a curler and I know the physics differs tremendously, but if the video title wasn't what it was and the people hadn't said it was the best shot in the history of curling, then my response would have been merely, "Wow, that was impressive." It seems crazy to me they say they've never even seen it done in practice. But obviously, I trust the people who know curling when they say it is the best shot ever. I would really like to understand more about why it was more than just merely impressive and was in fact the greatest shot in the history of the sport.

    • @petrograd4068
      @petrograd4068 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Curlerns normally rotate the stone they release fairly lightly so it makes about 3-6 rotations in all. That way the curl of the stone steers its trajectory so the stone ends up where they want it.
      Edin released a stone spun so heavily it made about 50(!) rotations. That way the rotation didn't just steer his stone's trajectory - it ALSO meant the strong rotatoon caused the stone he hit to spin too!
      That was groundbreaking, elite curlers haven't played like that before.
      It also takes a lot of practice to be able to make that shot because the extra spin completely changes the trajectory and how far the stone goes. So it's a lot of extra work for a kind of shot you'd only do once in many games.

      @tonyneilson1652 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Because the stone had to travel 140 feet, be thrown with precise weight to allow the spin to activate at the precise distance from the object stone, armed with a spin that defies accurate calculation, miss the guard stone out front and curve a ridiculous trajectory to contact the object stone at the precise point to knock it back, not disturb the yellow stones' position and stay in the rings for second shot. Achieving success defies probability - perhaps one in a million to get it right and Edin did!

      @Rosinedal 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      No one answered your question. So a little late, all I can say is that making a stone traveling 140 feet on ice, moving in an exact curve to do EXACTLY what you need it to do, was almost a miracle in this situation. The stones higher up was "guards" that made it "humanly impossible" to get to Norways red stone, it was so well protected. So making 1 point was all that seemed possible for team Sweden with that last stone of the round. That would not have been enough (it was the last 10'th round and Norway was in the lead with two points). And to get down to only touch the red stone enough to move it outwards, and NOT move your own yellow stone so close behind, looked to everyone like there was absolutly no way to do it. AND to have the stone in motion come to a stop better that your opponents best, to make those two points to get to play an 11'th round, and give yourself a chance to win the game, made it even more unlikely. So the position of the stones on the ice, the pressure of "do or die", the mere physics of heavy stones gliding on ice. It needed a perfect pace to move in so perfectly, and get a perfect result. And to create such a spinn to get it to move up towards the red stone at the exact right point.... It blew peoples minds! The fact that it all looks so easy says it all really. 😊

    I've always thought it's nonsense to think such shots have only a one in a hundred chance of success. They said the same thing about the forward pass in football back in 1913 when Knute Rockne started practicing it. There was no rule against the forward pass, yet players only tried it for laughs when there was no hope of winning. Hopefully Niklas Edin will do for curling what Rockne did for football. As my grandfather who played for Knute Rockne at Notre Dame taught me, it's just a matter of practice.

      Totally agree. Admittedly I have never ever curled but tbh how hard can it be? Just slide a stone along some ice and sooner or later you'll get an Olympic Gold! Kinda like when Hendrix plays guitar, he just sort of moves his hands along the neck of a guitar in a random order and people say it's extrordinary, what's so hard moving your hands up and down on a wooden stick?! My 3 year old kid can do it and he doesn't get any recognition (especially from me).
