Also, hugely disappointed that olympic curling doesn't use the Page playoff system. Most domestic competitions here do.

When my hometown co-hosted the WCs some time in the 90s, there were complaints about the Europeans refs by the North American teams. We were quite puzzled by some of the complaints, as the local ref was voted by the players of our league to be the best year after year (by a fair margin I may add). It turned out that the complaint was not so much about his calls, but the fact that he couldn't communicate in English. So are all the players entitled to talk with the ref in their own language?

While you didn't ask, you probably won't be surprised to learn that over here, the WCs are considered about as important as the Izvestia tournament. That is to say, not very.
Oh, and not all North American players have Englishas "their language", but I get your point.

I'm disappointed curling is still an Olympic sport, but then so is ping pong.

Everyone has a complaint, it seems, about what should or should not be in the Olympics. I get that.
What I've never understood is the derision shown for table tennis.
