WTF is Curling?
 

How the fuck is that even a sport. Let alone an olympic one.
I watched it the other night and have no idea what is going on. Somone explain.

its for people who cant play hockey, lol

that gotta be one of the easiest sport to understand... fun sport all can play whether they are kids or old..

Isn't that for housewives that have perfected the art of sweeping the kitchen floor?

curling is the equivelant to the weather channel for olympics...sucks ass but if you are blazed tis quality viewing.....but they need to chuck those rocks harder or something cuase bowling, golf and pool are more action packed than this caveman game

brooms.. ice... crazy canadians... :winkwink:

curling is : booooooooring

I've always thought it was a gay sport. But I've watched it for two days now and it's actually pretty cool. There's quite a few hot women too :Graucho

curling gets to be an olympic sport, but baseball and softball are kicked out? Crap like this is why nobody watches the damed thing

Curling rocks, by far the only way anyone I know personally could get a gold medal... hahahahaha

Blazed ehhh?

what you talkn bout willis....i know nothing about any bubble berry

Nobody around the world gives a shit about baseball or softball..

Its boring but it does take some skill to do it well...

But i don't know why its called a sport or why people participate in it.

chucking a kettle down some ice

Dude, just use google.

It says more about you then over the game if you dont get it. I petty you.

Curling doesn't move as fast as just about all other sports combined, but it is a game of strategy. If you watch it long enough and the telecast you're watching has good commentators you will soon pick up on what's going on.

It's as much a sport as golf is, and hey I'd much rather watch a curling match than watch cricket.

i saw it once on tv and i watched it quite some time trying to understand the rules and what you have to do to win. I still dont have a clue.

there are alot of wierd olympic sports

Watch the womens curling. I just saw the US vs Russia this morning and alot of those girls were HOT...

I've tried it and it's really difficult, MUCH harder than bowling for example... having any kind of control of those stones are virtually impossible.

I agree :thumbsup

lamest game on the planet

no way in hell is it a sport

Exactly. It actually does take a lot of skill.

Curling is the excuse older Canadians use for getting together with a group of people and drinking their faces off once a week.

Damnit, I thought this was gonna be a thread about curling our hair. :upsidedow

It's a fun sport if you try it some time...I love drunken curling..:)

hahahaha

hit me up on icq and I will explain all danish people know curling because we once won the olympic games in it

canada is really sharp in this fucked up and childlike sport :)

What about that thing you guys call "football"?

hut hut hut... throw ball.... gang bang - 4 seconds and it's over.
* lets wait 2 minutes to line up the players and talk for a bit *
hut hut hut.... throw ball.... run 1 yard.... gang bang - 11 seconds and it's over
* lets wait 2 minutes to line up the players and talk for a bit *
hut hut hut.... throw ball.... run 3 yards..sideways.... gang bang - 10 seconds and it's over
.....


I rather watch curling than "football", it's just way too fucking boring.

Sounds a lot like hockey in that context.

I never used to like curling much either, I can see where some of you are coming from. But in the last 10 years or so I have become a bit more interested in it due to it's inclusion in the Olympics. When the game is played well by skilled teams the level of strategy is nearly unmatched.

Shooting pro pool and billiards is considered a sport. So is bowling for that matter.

well err its a sport thats bout all

I can see where it takes a steady hand, and a little bit of practice, but I really dont see that as a sport.

The first time I heard about it, I only heard the name, and not the description. I thought that they were talking about weight lifting.

I grew up watching curling - love it.

Funny to watch how extremely serious they are when they compete.

Watched the Norway vs USA the other day and my immediate thoughts about the US team was that they are all GAAJB (Gay As Jay Birds) and that the skip on the Norwegian team is a typical Norwegian version of a hill billy. Hilarious!

That's it! I heard those girls could wash your entire house in 2' :thumbsup

Trust me, it's one of those sports that's not as easy as it looks. Anyone can throw a rock down a sheet of ice, it's the strategy that dictates whether it's a close game or whether you get your ass handed to you in a 17-0 loss.

It takes years to get your skill up to the level that these Olympic contenders are playing at.

It's definitely not a "sport" that's for everyone.

US, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Central America, Dominican, Cuba. I beg to differ. Sorry the rets of the world sucks at it.

I was making fun of it, but still watching it. I can see how skill is needed, but it is just a strange thing to watch.

my question is, how the hell do you get into curling... let alone get into the olympics for it
