1 and 2 in the Round Robin... USA better buck up!!! The ONLY Olympic sport where no one sweats, everyone drinks beer (athletes and fans alike) during training and being fat is totally irrelevant!! ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/CxnNFMsp/Screenshot-2022-02-03-at-21-19-31-Curling-Mixed-Doubles-Group-Results-Beijing-2022.png)
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Those curling people are crazy! They're out there on the ice, sweeping as fast as they can and not watching where they're going. They're not wearing any PPE. No elbow or knee pads, and no helmets!! Crazy I tell ya. They could easily aquire season ending injuries. Hope they all have backups. Way to intense for me to watch. I'll stick with football.
Fall seven times, stand up eight.

Curling is fun to do, but as a spectator sport not so much.

The Olympic sport for old people. They recruit from shuffleboard trailer parks down south in the winter.

My dad and I were at war during my youth. It was the Scots screaming at that rock and sweeping like made that broke the ice for us. We were both laughing hysterically and had to compare notes.
It literally fixed my family.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

At physical therapy today they had the couple curling on. I don't know shidt about it. Therapist gave me a basic rundown on curling. Pretty interesting actually. Not my go to sport IMO, if your on ice you better have pads, skates and chasing a puck.

We love watching it and anticipating the next move. The win we got was luck, I think they had another match during the night or maybe it was early this morning. Thankfully we can stream at our leisure with peacock, we missed a lot of matches the last couple Olympics. Vicky is carrying the team.

I was up on Prince Edward Island, Canada one time. We went to a curling match. Being from Georgia I never had heard of this sport. It was pretty interesting to watch, live in person. Kind of boring on tv.

Vicky and the entire Persinger family has “curling in their blood”. She’s quite good (obviously).

I liked it better when they used the straw brooms like the noise they made

As much as I would like to watch the Curling matches, the Olympics will not get one second of my viewing time this year. China can take the China virus and the Olympics and stick 'em. I just lost another friend, in fact one of my best friends during high school to that stupid virus.
