Women MUST be responsible for Curling as a sport
Only women could come up with a way for men to voluntarily pick up and use anything that even remotely resembles a broom.

1. Have you seen the women's curling?! *Possible Spoiler*
The American women were doing pretty well yesterday against the Swiss women, but at the last second they lost it. They were awesome! It's so fun to watch, and I mostly have no idea what is going on. lol But the girls from the US are really young and sweet. And the amount of sportsmanship in that game is outstanding. Most of the game is officiated by the players. Very cool. And the guy announcing for them yesterday was obviously from up north. I love their accent, eh!

2. I saw a very little bit. I am watching US Men this AM.
The most interesting part about this sport is it is not based on brute force and guts. It requires finesse and strategy.

It almost looks like the average Joe and Jane could be an Olympian.

3. The guy said yesterday that they walk 15 miles in the course of a game.
Back and forth during the ends. Wow. That's a lot of walking.
