I don't understand curling

[Poetical Poltergeist]

There are only 2 tracks in the US and 2 in Canada. Lake Placid, NY and Park City, Utah.
Most bobsledders live in those cities in usa and calgary and vancouver in canada

if you notice all the tracks are located in places that have hosted past winter olympics,

Are all tracks the same?

 

[MikelArteta]

Are all tracks the same?

nah lengths, vertical drops and curves are different
but remember the lake placid one and calgary were built in the 80's, salt lake was built for 2002 and vancouver one was buitl like 10 years ago

whistler one is the fastest though (also the one where that luge athlete died)

but its cool

whenever I surf past curling on TV, I keep it on the channel for a few minutes.

and I don't know why.

You know that rant that Bryant Gumbel made about the Winter Olympics?

This bullshyt of curling embodies that rant completely. There’s nothing about curling that symbolizes or connects in any way to the athletic and competitive origins of the original Greek games.

Curling is an activity for clown cacs. You might as well call it Bocce ball on ice.

Take a deep breath and relax breh

...when i was a kid, i used to take old roof shingles, break them into palm sized squares and flick them s**ts for over a hundred or so yards. they should make that an event for the leap year spring olympics or something. i'd do bolt numbers in gold medals.

I watched curling for the first time a couple days ago. The American brother and sister team sucks. I don’t think any random person could just try it and be good at it, but I don’t see why, if you practiced for like 3 months, you wouldn’t be able to hit the middle every single time.

fukk Curling. I've always hated that sport ever since the Canadian sports channels would show it over Champions League Soccer.

why don't you play it then?

 

[Wedosyang]

Good point where the fukk do they even practice for that

I was watching it at the gym the other day and I'm also fascinated by it....

...but it does make me wonder why 9-ball pool hasn't been an Olympic sport all this time and is just now up for consideration in 2020....

...and how they haven't come up with some form of beer pong to put in there. :lupegarvey:

 

[FaTaL]

It’s like bowling I guess

The sweeping looks like their jacking off

 

[Fenian]

It's like bowls on ice I think.
