Sure did. I guess nobody really cares about curling, so they get that out of the way.It started?
Curling is actually among my favorites. If there is one Olympic sport I might have ever had a shot to compete in, it's probably curling. I always imagined that if I was ever curling in the Olympics, I would definitely make a ridiculous face every time I launched out of the blocks to slide a rock. In this day and age, I'd be an internet sensation for a week, guaranteed.Sure did. I guess nobody really cares about curling, so they get that out of the way.

Looks like Megan Boone, who plays the female lead character on “Blacklist”US beat the Russians. I am a big fan of Anastasia Bryzgalova though
ooooohhhh, she has very lovely form ... and pants - we may need a "curling pants" subthreadUS beat the Russians. I am a big fan of Anastasia Bryzgalova though
YOU CAN'T COMPARE ERAS THAT EASILY - for starters, it's all indoor competitions now, no more sweeping in the elements - oh, and yoga ike pantaloons in lieu of skirts and thermals for the gals - plus i hear tell that the puck thingies are much more aerodynamic these days.Top 5 curlers of all time, whatcha got?
I thought the same thing. Easy to say you played, but it's ridiculously difficult to be good at. My friend took me to the local ice rink when they were doing this. The pain in my legs the next day was excruciating. I fell like 50 times trying to sweep the ice. The rock isn't that hard to get used to. It's the other stuff.Curling is actually among my favorites.

I can imagine. I just meant if you started playing at a very young age, you might have a shot if you have a good mind for what shot to play and the accuracy to pull it off. No matter how hard I tried, I was never going to be in the 100m track finals.I thought the same thing. Easy to say you played, but it's ridiculously difficult to be good at.

Sort of like trying to pick up golf at age 40. Looks simple and maybe you can hit the ball a bit. But to the pros, you look like a buffoon.
The one time I tried it, I was so drunk that on one of my throws my stone went off course and hit the sidewall. That's essentially the equivalent of shooting a free throw and not just airballing it, but hitting a cheerleader on the sidelines.Curling is actually among my favorites.

Not ashamed to admit I've had erotic dreams involving HamFam.Didn't see one.

The big curling events are, unsurprisingly, huge parties. The local club where my friends curl has actually produced olympic athletes though, and there was a woman competing in the finals of the qualifiers who had curled for a time at their club in the past year or so.
Love the chaos of short track speed skating!
The Olympic channel is my late-night go-to the past year or so. Short track will be a blast. I'm also looking forward to men's and women's alpine skiing and the men's biathlon.
The NBC Olympic Channel carried the Short Track World Cup season, which also determined the number of qualifying slots each country got at the Olympics. Each city was a delightful mix of adrenaline and chaos. Expect the same at the Olympics. And lots of Koreans on the podium, representing Korea and other nations.
Yes, need to take in consideration the dead-stone era.YOU CAN'T COMPARE ERAS THAT EASILY - for starters, it's all indoor competitions now, no more sweeping in the elements - oh, and yoga ike pantaloons in lieu of skirts and thermals for the gals - plus i hear tell that the puck thingies are much more aerodynamic these days.

11 year old me (1980) discovered that ABC stood for Amazing Butt Cheeks, as i enjoyed the enchanting Linda Fratienne and her frilly lil' skirts ...that lovely #### of hers truly was a miracle on ice - "DO YOU BELIEVE IN BONERS??!?!?? YES!!!1!1!!"Wife is all psyched for figure skating tonight.
There had better be some ####### curling on one of the alternate channels.
I'll have to look for that...

Fair enough, although with so many countries sending seemingly 14YO skaters, I feel a bit safer enjoying curling.11 year old me (1980) discovered that ABC stood for Amazing Butt Cheeks, as i enjoyed the enchanting Linda Fratienne and her frilly lil' skirts ...that lovely #### of hers truly was a miracle on ice - "DO YOU BELIEVE IN BONERS??!?!??

Funny to see them considered Olympians.I love that this US Curler is wearing an athletic sleeve on his curling arm.
Certainly one of the most exciting winter events.TripleThreat said:Love the chaos of short track speed skating!
I love any sport that you get to train eating cheese curds and drinking beer.Funny to see them considered Olympians.
They look like your typical middle aged out of shape couple from Wisconsin.
