Seriously, it looks like fun.

As far as the Olympics goes (following on TV, not live), I would be shocked if we beat Norway. I have a feeling they'll take it.

I've played on and off for 12 years and I've been a curling ice maker for 10 years. Even in my limited exposure I've met and made ice for several olympic athletes and medalists. It's one sport where it's quite easy to meet the elite players.

I'm not really sure how curling is considered a sport. It isn't athletic at all.

Categorizing sports should be subject to the Beer Gut test.

Can you have a beer gut and be a top "athlete" in the sport? If yes, it's not a sport.

A lot of Americans aren't going to be drawn to a sport where they get dominated by two countries who people often point to as having a higher quality of living than the US.

I generally meant singles, mixed doubles is a new thing.

Even still like I said, tough to draw Americans to a sport where Norway and Canada for the most part shit all over everything in their path.

It's not. It's awful. It's boring and barely a sport, but it's fans take it crazy serious.

Curling is weird.

I get the premise but I'm surprised it qualifies as a sport.

We turn it from a concrete floor into a playing surface at the beginning of the season and maintain the ice throughout the day, before and between games. Unlike hockey/skating ice it's a textured surface so we don't use a zamboni.

A fair bit. Most elite teams play in a few leagues together and participate in tournaments throughout the season, as well as qualifiers at the provincial and national level. Generally they spend 2 or 3 hours on the ice five or six days a week. Many play out of a few clubs to increase their chances of booking practice ice.

I feel like curling:Winter Olympics as soccer:World Cup.

People always say how big a fan they are of it when those events happen but then don't watch any other matches when they're on at other times.
