“Forget about what’s on the line.” With his team hitting its stride, Brad Jacobs is trying to focus on the task at hand instead of the Olympic berth at stake. (KrRutherford)

SASKATOON — Brad Jacobs had just rattled off a decisive win against Kevin Koe to move to 5-1 at Canada’s Olympic Trials, and the skip from Sault Ste. Marie was doing his best to forget exactly what he’s playing for here.

This week at Canada’s Olympic trials, mental gymnastics are key. And the guys who’ve won this thing before — as all four members of Team Jacobs have — know that better than most. “It can be a little bit overwhelming,” Kennedy added, of this week’s event. “It can be a challenge to keep yourself focused on the task at hand and not thinking ahead.”

There is no doubt about that: Through six games, all four members of the team are curling at above 90 per cent, with their skip at a sparkling 93 per cent. They’ll need to continue that near-perfect play as the weekend closes in. Jacobs faces Team McEwan and Team Horgan on Friday.
