Winter Olympics: 9 straight losses for curlers

Winter Sports High Performance Manager Mark Elliot has rejected suggestions of disharmony in the New Zealand Curling team at the Winter Olympics in Turin.

Commentators overheard the Kiwis in strong disagreement over tactics in some of their games.

They finished last, with 9 straight losses, the latest, a 10-1 thrashing by Germany this morning.

Elliot says there is debate on the ice all the time and it is just part of the sport.

Mark Elliot says they are "miked up" all the time and are just saying it how it is.

Mark Elliot says while nine losses sounds bad, some of the games were very close and it shows the depth of the sport around the world.
