2/18/2006: What's the deal with curling?
I'm the first to admit I don't get it. I know, I know, it's got tradition and precision but c'mon.. it's also got brooms! It just seems highly out of place compared to all the life & death sports going on elsewhere around Torino.. these guys don't even wear helmets.
But its athletes and devotees are devoted. The Olympian at left even has a tattoo for her sport that peeked out during a competition. I may not get it (and I'm not going to try), but you've got to admit that curling does produce some photos that make it look kind of athletic and almost exciting.
