A Canadian curler who won multiple championships, including the 2006 Winter Olympics, and later became a sportscaster, providing commentary for curling events.
David Nedohin, a Canadian curler, is renowned for his exceptional shotmaking ability, particularly for making difficult combination takeout shots. As the longtime fourth for Randy Ferbey, Nedohin's skills have earned him numerous accolades, including four Brier championships and three world championships.
Nedohin joined the Randy Ferbey rink in 1997, forming a partnership that would last over a decade. During this period, he was an integral part of the team's four Brier championships and three world championships, solidifying his reputation as one of the greatest curlers in the world.
One of Nedohin's most impressive performances was at the 2003 Nokia Brier, where he boasted an incredible 96% shooting percentage in the final. He repeated this feat at the 2005 Men's Ford World Curling Championships, shooting an impressive 95% in the final.
The Ferbey Four, as they came to be known, popularized the fourth shooting position, with Nedohin throwing the last two stones in each end. This innovative strategy allowed Randy Ferbey, the skip, to throw third stones, creating a formidable force on the ice.
In 2010, the Ferbey Four disbanded, with Ferbey joining the Brad Gushue rink. However, when Ferbey was dropped by the Gushue rink, he and Nedohin reunited, making it to the 2011 Boston Pizza Cup.
In the 2011-2012 season, Nedohin and Ferbey formed a new team with Ted Appelman and Brendan Melnyk, but after a successful World Curling Tour season, they failed to qualify for the Northern Alberta Regionals.
In the 2012-2013 season, Nedohin announced he would be playing with Colin Hodgson, Tom Sallows, and Mike Westlund. This new team drew comparisons to the early days of the Ferbey Four, with many hoping for a repeat of their previous success.
In the 2013-2014 curling season, Nedohin joined Kevin Martin's team, further solidifying his reputation as one of the most talented curlers in the world.
Throughout his career, David Nedohin has left an indelible mark on the world of curling. His exceptional shotmaking ability, innovative playing style, and numerous accolades have cemented his place as one of the all-time greats in the sport.
