Sweden knew Canada’s Marc Kennedy was a notorious cheater.

So they set up a camera at the ‘hog line’ to record it.

And caught him doing it at the Olympics.

    And then there is this angle that shows he holds his finger beside the rock after release.

    The “gotcha” photo has his finger buried internally in the rock, seeing this other angle shows his finger beside the rock, but from a different angle would appear to be touching it.

    Not as clear cut as they want you to believe.

      The pictures are from different throws. Here the person is wearing long sleeves, and the person in the “gotcha” picture is wearing short sleeves.

        as much as people disliked what they said, they’re right - the point still stands.

        THIS is the angle needed on the disputed throw, because his finger is behind the stone from camera’s POV. what’s happening in this throw could very well be exactly the case in the other

          Thank you, I understand they are different pictures and it seems like a few people actually see the point I was making and didn’t just downvote me because you didn’t like my opinion on it.

          If we had the alternate view of the original photo it might just show his finger beside. If we only use that angle they set up then everytime his finger is beside the stone it would appear to be touching it, which is why we either need proper camera angles, 3 of them, or we just let it continue as it has been for years and years.
