Curling

[Sam-Skwantch]

Omg...I’ve kinda been obsessed and mostly with the women’s round robin event!

I really like the Swiss team and thought their match with Sweden was extra entertaining !!!

Such a weird sport that I get into every four years.

I like watching it too, although I only catch it from time to time.
I saw the finals of the "Mixed Doubles" and mostly now some of the Men's Round Robin rounds.

There certainly is a lot of strategy involved. Each Olympics I understand a little more about the game.
There's still a lot that I don't understand, though. But that's OK - it's still a lot of fun to watch.

What does it mean when they say "Italy (for example) has the hammer"?

I figure by the 2050 Olympics, I'll probably have learned all the rules!

the game has developed a lot over the last games... Canada is no longer the top dog. It's very good for the sport. Just watched a couple games... good stuff from team Gushue.

The hammer is the last rock in an end!

I only watch it on occasion these days, but I remember really getting into it in 2010 because I was in college at the time and it was always playing during lunch... (I mourn the loss of the colorful Norwegian curling pants...)

Are they really no more? Is there no Norwegian team anymore? Or are the new guys just not as whacky?

Those pants are truly needed in the time of COVID...

They exist, but their pants are plain black if memory serves me right...

This is the first Olympics I've really watched it...and I love it. And there are a serious amount of hotties of both genders, so it's both competitive AND eye-candy! Win Win!

The men's final with Sweden vs Great Britain was epic.
