On social media, Morris wrote: "I know you’re all disappointed, and so are we. This wasn’t what we envisioned when we flew to Beijing nine days ago, but I can tell you we left it all on the ice. [Homan] and I did everything we could, and we wore that Maple Leaf with pride. It just didn’t go our way today.

"I’m extremely proud of the way Rachel and I did here, even if it didn’t always show up on the scoreboard. We never quit. Not once. We were always in there fighting. We couldn’t be prouder to be Canadian curlers, and to have a chance to represent the best country in the world at the Olympics is something we both treasure."
