are there any other fans of curling?
the only sport where you can nap and play at the same time
Looking forward to the Aussies taking gold.

Originally posted by @lemondropI agree. We don't get too see much curling here in the USA, since Americans would rather watch a bunch of men with overactive pituitary glands, ram a ball through a hoop. European sports are superior.

Originally posted by @roma45The floor of the curling rink is always spotless. Not sure why they keep sweeping it but hey, it adds to the incredible excitement of the sport.
Just proves it's a good 'clean' sport
No swearing spitting diving wearing padded gear and crash helmets.

I see Australia are currently ranked no. 28 in both the mens and womens.
Expect a vast improvement over the next few years. We're expecting to medal in at least one of the two.
A recent state game attracted a crowd of 42,000 fans over here. When NSW snatched the title in the last few seconds there was pandemonium. In the ensuing violence 8 people were hospitalised and 12 people were arrested.
What a game !!!!

non stop excitement unlike padded rugby, i mean how can a game meant to last 60 minutes take FOUR AND A HALF HOURS TO PLAY. perhaps to sell more hot dogs?

I heard you "like" the team CSKA are playing tonight.
Hey have you seen the curling skip that plays for Ontario Rachel Homan. One of the hottest women in sport. She could turn anyone into a curling fan.
What's the chances of GB (the Scots) winning gold at the next winter Olympics? The most sought after medal of the games.
