Curling is a sort of neanderthal throwback invented by Scottish people.
Luckily, some of them were forced to come to Canada where we modified the game by reducing the size of the rock and then adding goalies, skates, sticks and bodychecking to make it more interesting. Soccer has a similar history, kick a ball, throw a rock, all very basic boring things that begged for improvement. Figure skating though has to be the worst. If they win, they cry, and they get roses. If they lose, they cry, and they get roses. WTF is the point

However - Hats off to all these guys, girls and Johnny Weir's for the hours and hours for countless years - of practice. It is totally insane the schedules these people have to go through to learn all this stuff. Its not until you put one of your kids into the sport that you realize exactly what is involved here to make it in any competition, let alone the Olympics. |
