What do you think of this sport?
As a wrap-up to this year’s Olympics that ended a week or two ago, I’d like to highlight a sport that baffles me. Curling has somehow grown a fan base by providing an exciting atmosphere filled with pushing a rock, frantic ice sweeping, and a strategy that seems like a convoluted form of frozen shuffleboard . . . cleaning style. Yet more and more people seem to be interested in this sport, the attention that curling gets only seems to grow with each Olympics. This year I was amazed to see fans decked out in their team’s colors, with painted faces, screaming frantically at all the most crucial points of the match (is that the correct term?). I even had a couple friends saying how they couldn’t help but get into the sport, even this was said with some sense of shame though!
I watched one the US matches against . . . I don’t even remember now, but I watched for about 45 minutes and I picked up some of the rules and scoring, but I still have much more to learn. Unfortunately I just don’t know if I can passionately get behind this sport! Who knows! Maybe someday especially if they find a way to incorporate swords, body armor, and full contact! Can you imagine the little sweeper guys going at the ice with their brooms, and then suddenly out of the corner of the screen a big Russian comes hauling by taking out a sweeper! Now that’s the definition of exciting! Just a few thoughts for next Winter Olympics!
