Curling
Friday, February 24, 2006
The Winter Olympics Games are nearly over. I have to say that there are a lot of sports in the Winter Olmpics that don't really make a lot of sense to me. Take the luge and skeleton for instance. Why anyone would throw themselves onto some sled and go down some windy ice slide at a tremendous speed, with head face down (skeleton) or on your back (luge) is beyond my comprehension.
The sport that really gets to me though is curling. I mean, really, it's the weirdest sport! You throw some big stone with a handle down the ice and tell two people who have brooms to sweep "faster"? I just don't get it. Do you?
And somehow, we Canadians are quite good at it since we always seem to medal in this event. I haven't quite decided whether this is something to be proud of.

haha-
yeah, just talking to my husband last night about the luge/skelton thingy-I do not get it either. Curling is weird-and really boring to me-but hey be proud because-why not, right?
