The Olympics were originally intended to be athletic contests requiring exceptional strength and/or endurance. Whatever athleticism is involved with curling isn’t visible to the naked eye. It may be popular in very cold locales where there aren’t a heck of a lot of things to occupy their time but has no place in the Olympics.
It’s better than any of the scored events which have nothing but halo effects. Ever seen a skating upset? And some Russian fell the other night in couples and they were still first
The sad part is that I have completely lost interest in the Olympics, summer or winter. Not watching this one, haven’t for a least 8 years, and doubt that I ever will again.

If you enjoy tactics and finesse, then you can find a way to enjoy curling. I do, and I never even HEARD of it until a few years ago.

Canadians seem to love curling.
To me, it’s bocce on ice. And by that estimation, I imagine it’s really fun to do, but I have no interest in watching it.

Curious. Watched a curling match the other night. Boy, sure gets a guy’s heart pounding.
Here’s something you’ve never heard; ‘’Is that the Curling guy’s Corvette?’’

More folk would watch the games if they were not constantly interrupted with; commercials or commentary about the sins of China.

Curling is exciting. It is much better than a sport decided by biased judges.

IIRC, co-ed competition is now allowed at the Olympics.

I find curling strangely captivating, but I couldn’t say why.

The Olympics this year are sad. Saying that Curling allows older chubby sportsmen to compete for Gold.

I like watching Curling. It is faster moving than many a Baseball game.
