Can Scott Be Stopped At Scotties?

Hello. The Scotties Tournament of Hearts begins on Saturday. There is a great field, but all will be chasing two-time defending champion Kelly Scott from BC.
Can anyone challenge her? Definitely. Shannon Kleibrink from Alberta, bronze medalist at Torino, beat Scott in the Olympic Trials final to get there. Jennifer Jones, 2005 Canadian champion from Manitoba, has battled Scott for both of their curling careers. Suzanne Gaudet of PEI, Heather Strong of Newfoundland, Kerry Galusha-Koe of the Territories, Mary-Anne Arsenault of Nova Scotia, Larouche of Quebec, Englott of Saskatchewan and Ontario's Sherry Middaugh all have been there before. Only BC and New Brunswick are lacking in experience.
In spite of this strong field I expect Scott to win the round robin, and eventually the crown. Like Glenn Howard, this rink is focused long-term on the 2010 Olympics. They are trying to win and dominate everything possible between now and then. And Scott is even more dominate at this point than Howard is.
It should be an interesting time in Regina.

Regards,
Steve
