Me too. Also slalom, downhill and a couple of others I can't think of right now.

My wife gets a kick out of how excited I get about curling. After all the snowboard events, this is definitely my favorite.

Same here Mat she came running to see what I was hollering at. hard, Hard, HARD,HARD!!! lots o fun.:brew:

Are the Olympic "Curlers" .... the best in the world?


I have watched several hours of the curling matches [don't know it that is the correct term] and for people that probably have 100's if not 1000's of hours experience..... IMO, sometimes it just does not show.


Several days ago, in one match on the last throw there was only one "stone" barely in scoring position. All the last thrower needed to do was put the stone a few feet from the "Button" to win for his team. His throw slid all the way pasted the largest circle.


I have seen other stones stop 10 feet short and off to the side so it was not put there as a defensive throw.


Most players make very good throws...... but some throws, I think I could do better with a little practice.

I think its like most other sports the Olympic Athletes aint necessarily da best but the ones willing to compete for next to nothing. like hockey etc. they aint the best just willing to do it.

I love Curling. I watch it all year long.

All year on what channel perhaps I dont have it but will be looking from now on.

The uSA just won an exciting over time victory over Canada.

Today the women are off to a good start against a tough South Korean team exciting stuff.........sorta :cheers:

Y'all aren't talking about weight lifting? You say curling and I think of a bar with weights on each end. Are thwy curling hair? Gold medal at the beauty school kinda stuff? ;)
