Curling

Wow, heck of a match. To score a 5 in the 8th end..... got all the big shots when they needed them.

Has to feel good after the previous 2 Olympics, and more or less being dumped out of the USA program, fought their way back in and wouldn't go away when the chips were down early on.

I saw a picture of the US team and boy do they look like athletes in great physical condition. It must be all those miles that they run while in training, that and all of the weight training. Do they have the checkers game in the summer or winter Olympics? That would be exciting to watch also!

I think curling is similar to bowling. May not be top conditioned athletes but takes hours and hours of practice. Not extreme workouts but I bet those guys still need to lift weights to keep muscles in good condition. It is all about muscle control, muscle memory, and practice. Then there is the strategy side of it which is more like checkers. Understanding what is going to happen multiple stone throws ahead.

Wife likes to watch Curling, I'd just as soon watch grass grow.

I am very glad that team USA DID GOLD. Finnaly pulled it off. It is just not chucking rocks down a slab of ice. You are very correct, they look far from a bunch of belly type people. When you see some of the throws and resulting hits, no wonder they use Granite. Combo of checkers, a little chess, some pool, and use your wife's Swifter! Good for them !!!!

It's a cool sport you can drink beer while playing.
