Curling is a sport I do not know much about, and do not understand. There is a curling club within 20 miles of where I grew up, but really, we never watched them perform.
Curling has been an official Winter Olympic sport since 1998 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curling. But, curling has been demeaned, ridiculed, and satirized. The comments about curling likened it to watching bowling on TV (I like watching bowling on TV) and watching grass grow (I like watching grass grow.) At the 2010 Olympics, curling was wired for sound, and it TOOK OFF. When you can hear the comments of the participants, all of a sudden, curling takes on a whole new dimension.
I do not understand the rules, and I will need to read up on it, but I think curling is a great sport.
