Guys.

[Zrow]

I actually watched Olympic curling for about 2 hours yesterday.

...and kind of enjoyed it.

Curling is a sport that is fun to play, but horrendously boring to watch (like bowling)

 

[Vonie]

I just saw Japenese Women Curling. Beat that.

 

[vladimir]

the slow movement of the...whateveryoucallem...really builds up the tension.

 

[Kylehnat]

The stone?

I don't know why there is a stigma that curling is a Canadian sport for slow-witted hosers. It's a lot like billiards, just with 40 lb balls (I know what you're thinking...) and a table made of ice.

There are worse sports than curling, but they probably never make it on TV.

Hmmm...giant billiards sounds like a great idea!

 

[Kylehnat]

Like a human chess board

What's Canada got to do with anything?

Rhona Martin and her Scottish team are reigning Olympic women's champions.

And Norway are the men's champions.

Canada sucks....

I'm also looking for a descriptive thread title, but it seems there's nothing to see here....

All right, all right! I know you Scots love crazy games. Curling, golf, cricket, caber tossing, haggis eating...

Of course, I kid because I love... Any insult I level at Scotland is an insult to the family kilt hanging in my closet

I've always loved the curling.

The most entertaining part is the effort they put into the shouting!

But on a more serious note, I like watching it - it's like lawn bowls on ice. But then, I can't stand lawn bowls...

 

[Kylehnat]

And the sweeping. That always makes me laugh HURRY HARD!!!

Curling should not be an olympic sports if you'd ask me. Then again, they have to fill up the program somehow. I don't consider all the sleds games sports either. Just sit there and wait til you're at the bottom... sigh.

 

[Kylehnat]

I hope you're joking. Let's dis the skiiers too; gravity does all the work.

You do know they have to actually steer their Luge's and Bobsleigh's, right?

I vote we take smellysocks to the top of the skeleton bob run, tie him to the sled so he can't move, and chuck him down the hill. We could take bets on how many broken bones he'd have by the time he got to the bottom.

No broken bones. He'll just lose all the flesh down one side of his body.

Even more fun will be putting him in the back of a 4 man bobsleigh with no prior knowledge of the course. 4G pushing down on an empty chest is not fun.

Anyway, back to curling. I've actualy watched it quite abit. It is abit of a slow game but tactics can be pretty intense.

disrespect m8...

curling takes time, patience and practice like all other sports. it is a big sport in places with alot of ice. and it ust so happens that sled racers are probrably in 100x better shape than any of us. they have to be rock soild man...4G's is right. thats alot of weight to take when youre not tied down. also, respect the sports that the international community cosider worthy...if they werent worthy, they wouldnt be here.

 

[Carl.]

Curling should be the only mixed sport for the winter olympics, there's absolutely no point in having separate teams for mens and womens.

Oh, and daan, what were you saying about Canada and curling again?
