I’m really not into the Olympics. If figure skating was on and I ran across it, I would watch. Other than that, no thanks.
I did learn one thing this time and it amuses me greatly. I learned about curling. Curling is an odd “sport.” Two stones on the ice. People with brooms sweeping in front of and around the stones in order to coerce them to move a specific way. I was so tickled. I couldn’t believe that it’s an Olympic sport.
I had heard the term, but never knew what it was. I think I thought it was something akin to a javelin toss. – Who knows how I arrived at that?
I was eating at a local restaurant with a friend and it came on the TV. I found myself puzzled and very curious. Perhaps there’s something to it that I don’t realize, but I just don’t really “get it.”
It doesn’t seem intense enough to be an Olympic sport.
I am curious about it, though. I plan to research how it came to be.
I find myself strangely transfixed by the concept.
