Curling.. The one Olympic sport you can look like a normal human being and still win.

It sure has to be a lot harder than it looks.

I think it’s funny that a Russian curler gets busted for doping. Why would you need enhancement drugs for this sport?

Since the GB ladies won a few years back, I look out for it now. Who ever is playing.

Turns out the sweepers have a very exhausting job. The run up and down the ice on every stone. It's said it takes a lot of stamina.

I got interested in this sport this year. So glad the USA won a gold; first time in history. Well done.

C'mon, must be, they even want to call cup stacking a sport.

Come on..........curling takes a great deal of skill. That's like calling painting an art and photography cup stacking. After all we only have to push a button.

Only sport without violence and actually requires great skill to do well.

Right. SO much violence in figure skating and rhythmic gymnastics.
