Tying up loose ends from the European Championships 2011

If you like your curling in bite size pieces, here is World Curling TV's short YouTube video of the Women's Final in Moscow. Alison Walker interviews Eve after the game.

The equivalent men's video is here.

I think these short clips are great. If you missed Draw 7, here are the Scots against Russia.

Don't forget to check out all the photos by Richard Gray in the galleries on the WCF website here. Mike Haggerty's reports are on the Royal Club website here. And of course, John Brown gave us a very special insight here.

My thanks especially go to Leslie Ingram-Brown for his feeds from Moscow. It is a really hard job taking photos AND writing about the games. Well done, Leslie. Great stuff.
