I’ve seen multiple headlines/excerpts on ‘curling’ relating to the olympics and still have neither a clue nor a hint of curiosity to learn anything whatsoever about ‘curling’...

Too bad for you. It’s a great sport. Way more fun than being the guy that goes onto random threads to tell people you’re not interested.

“””and still have neither a clue nor a hint of curiosity to learn anything whatsoever about ‘curling’...”””

Elite athletes in perfect shape who work out several minutes every single month push a rock on the ice and some janitors sweep the ice in front of it until it hits another rock. Very fascinating.....if you are hammered.

It’s like slow motion bowling.

When I worked up in Calgary I learned that a lot of beer gets consumed during a curling match so there's that.

You saw ‘curling’ in the headline and you were curious ...

I remember a brief shot of a curling stone was shown during the intro to ABC's Wide World of Sports. I always made a point to not blink when it was on the screen, because I wanted to pick up some clue as to what it was about.
