Jason Gunnlaugson has drawn some attention to himself this week. First, because of his age. At 24-years of age, Gunnlaugson is the youngest skip at this year's Olympic trials.
But Gunnlaugson is also starting to turn some heads due to the incredible weight he can throw, earning him the nickname of "The Gunner". He displayed his power during his draw 4 match-up against Kevin Koe, when Gunnlaugson fired a take-out with his last shot. After making contact with his target, one rock crashed into the side-boards with such force it launched off the ice and landed on the catwalk between the sheets.
As of the start of this game, Gunnlaugson has an 0-1 at this year's Roar of the Rings.
