OMFG this was one of the most intense moments in sports history. I actually developed a serious case of swamp ass when I was watching this and it was like 40 degrees in my house! I wonder if someone is going to develop a PS3 curling game. It would sell like hot cakes!
Petty arguments (like what's below) are absolutely antithetical to curling. Yes, curling does require a good deal of skill, fitness and intelligence. But while athleticism may be more necessary at the World Championship than a local Thursday night mixed league, sportsmanship, friendliness and respect for the sport's great traditions are vital in ALL levels of curling.
The IOC is plagued by greed and scandal. I'd say the Olympics need curling--the least cynical of sports--now more than ever.
Apparently I've been living under a rock (ha, puns) as I have never actually witnessed a curling match before. This is seriously what everyone has their knickers in a twist over? Certainly it's not EXHILARATING for the viewer by any stretch of the imagination, but then again neither are many other sports (golf, bowling, darts, etc.) that networks cram into sports programming. I think humans simply tend to value displays of strength over strategy. The Romans worshiped Gladiators for 700 years.
I'm surprised at many of these people that diss on sports that they've never played, yet bragging that "white people make up sports so they think they're good at something". These same armchair athletes probably wouldn't have the balance to stay 30 seconds on the ice without skates. What do these people do, troll YouTube looking for sports to make ugly comments about just so they feel like an athlete themselves?

You dont get it. White people make up sports like these to compete in because the other races have took over the main sports everybody watch. They make up these sports so people will think their good at something in the olympics. :/
wtf what is the pont of this u slid and wat down the ice and two people sweep the ice i meen the people that sweed can u come to my house i well let u sweep my flor
I know people probly don't wanna hear this, but curling was the most viewed sport during the winter Olympics if I rember right. I might rember wrong. I'm from the US, and don't understand the sport though and how its so popular.
@dziggy808 and you were trying to correct olypic with Olymipc? I thought you would have at least noticed it in the spell check despite your inability to spell yourself.
The sports that shouldn't be in the Olympics are not this sport (which is free of controversy and drugs) but those sports where the scores are determined by judges (like figure skating and diving.) There are several Olympics sports that require neither brawn nor speed yet still require precise control of your body (as in this case, being able to slide those stones to the right spot.)
@cratesjohnson I understand where you're coming from in that "athletics" should comprise sports that answer to the Olympic motto "Fortis, Citius, Altis" (Stronger, Faster, Higher) implying some muscles. Still I can't see how keeping this in the Games hurt. You can still watch all the skiing and skating you want.
I think Shaquille O'Neal and Michael Vick will be competing in this sport in the next winter olympics with their tights on. Oh yeah and their maids will be participating with their house brooms. Time for a guys night out with beer and curling.
JC- It does take skill to play the game- but that doesn't make it an Olympic Medal Event- that they give medals for this bullshit is pathetic considering all of the true sports THAT ARE NOT MEDAL worthy- so they say at the IOC. Canada and China lobbied hard for this sport to be returned to the medal ranks after it was demoted- they got what they wanted.
wow.. i love how you dont bother to make points about why curling should not be in the olympics, but why one person (me) is the downfall of society lol. and i dont compete in any sport or game
Lol, damn cool down. Just because you might play curling doesn't mean that it's the best sport in the world. Sorry to break your heart but it's not even in the highlights of the Winter Olympics lol.
and what winter sports do you like? this game is a very intellegent game. it is shuffleboard meets chess. i bow to people who can play this game. it looks like it takes a lot of skill
This is fucking pathetic! To think of all the sports THAT ARE NOT MEDAL SPORTS- yet this crap is in the Olympics! I know it's the second most popular sport in Canada- which just goes to show you how pathetic that is, but it was only added back as a medal sport after decades of disappearing as China and Canada pushed strongly for its return to the medal ranks.
ROFL they take softball and baseball out of the Olympics, but they leave this crap in? This is not a sport, it is a game. If this can be a sport then we need Horeshoe's and cornhole in the Olympics.
a sport clearly invented for laughs. i don't know who the creator is but i imagine he's laughing his (perhaps ghostly) ass off at the fact that he actually conned people into doing this.
Haha...LoL...Even if others do not want to agree with this....as much as most of us think that Curling is straight up retarded.....we still sit there and watch it...hell after watching it on the 2010 Olympics even I find myself saying, I would give that a try just to find out what its all about. =)
What is this about curling not being a sport? Heres the definition of sport: an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf,bowling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc. Now heres the definiton for Athletic: physically active and strong. This game requires athletic activity (Example for athletic activity: They have to slide and sweep on the ice) and skill. Therefore curling meets the requirements for being a sport.
@codename7000 It definitely is a sport, but it's admittedly highly unusual, like it could have been done without ice, but that was just added to make it a winter sport or something. Just a weird sort of sport but does require high level of precision. It seems more like a skill, like welding or machining, than a sport though.
I don't see why they would add playing on ice to curling just to make it a winter sport if their was no big reason to do so. If you think they did it so curling can be put in the Winter Olympic Games let me tell you this Curling was played on ice since Feb.1541 and the first WinterOG's were held in 1924. Also it may seem more like welding or machining to you then sport is probably because your used to sports having more physical activity in them but keep your feelings by the definition of sport.
@codename7000 yea im pretty sure a sport can be classified as, practice, hard work, talent, precision, coordination, reaction, generally in most cases, athletisism, good form, body tone, and etc. however, this sport ill give it might take precision and coordination... what else? years of practice? no lol i could learn this game in 3 weeks... athletisism, cardio, body tone? not even that, i could drink beer and eat cheeseburgers for 10 years strait and still be good at this... soz the sport fails
This sport also takes much more in the way of strategy and tactics than most Olympic events. But, considering your spelling and grammar, I imagine anything involving skull sweat doesn't appeal to you at all.
Agree. The posters here knocking curling come across as the type of churlish adolescents who like to drive their cars too fast. I wouldn't be surprised if Kevin Martin was the smartest athlete in the winter games.
@masorex, You can learn chess in a day and spend the rest of your life trying to master it. I suggest you play a game of curling before you denigrate it. Good sweeping is hard work and pushing a 42 lb stone with enough force to travel 93 feet AND move the stones at the other end is not easy.
yea i know right? u sweep for five seconds, and get a rest. wow that must be hard. and since I dumbbell curl ten pounds less than a pushing stone every day at the gym and im only fifteen, im pretty sure grown men/women can handle sliding it across rediculously slippery ice for a distance of merely 93 feet.... The fact is, is that if i played a whole day of curling, id easily make at least 1 or more shots just as good as any olympic curler, its just that kind of game, its settup makes it easy
wait im sorry, that last part didng make any sence, i ment to say, that if i played a whole day of curling, id easily be able to make 1 or more shots that would be considered an "incredible shot" in curling. i however would never in my life be able to train 3 months in chess and beat a country, even county champ. yet with small amount of accuracy, could stand a huge chance of tieing or even beating "a pro curler," thats just the game, u roll a stone at a target, my sister could do that
masorex, lol i highly doubt that you could kid. even if you could make a shot, it doesn't mean you have a huge chance of beating a pro lol. those guys make good shots all the time. you also have to take the defensive part of the game into consideration
so... all those countries struggling to find talented athletes for running, skiing etc.. should just turn to curling to get a medal.? dammiit.. if only they had known before..
Ok, this could be exiting with a few changes. Combine it with Pro-Wrestling, you could have sneak attacks, foreign objects, double crosses, trash talking your opponents......
On second thought i dont think that would even help this any.
wht the f... Judo is a sport, running is a sport, snowboarding is a sport.. if curling is sport then we might as well consider checkers as a sport!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ejenamy-i totaly agree.what in the fuck is this bullshit that their trying to sell us.look olympics have become a joke with all these ridiculous so called games.whats next? hop-scotch,double dutch jump roping,rooster fighting.these people may work hard at what they do,but sorry america,europe,canada and anyone i missed this is not a fucking sport nor or they athletes.i'll put it in the same bracket as basket weaving,domino's,checkers,playing go fish,tic tac toe, and other senseless bullshit.
@tonyalva14 thats why people get there eyes ripped out and shit like that and actually bleed preaty bad and not where pussy ass helments and if you knew anything you would know that football derived from rugby and without that there would be no football
when you're going to insult someone, at least use proper grammar and correct spelling. both sports are cool. americans will love football more than rugby, and apparently wherever you're from, people will love rugby more than football. it's a never ending argument that no side will ever win, so give up.
hey Dizsdh if you played American Football you would understand why we use all the pads. Unlike in some contact sports like rugby you try to stick some one as hard as you can, and I rarely see any other sport having head to head collisions at full speed, except for hockey sometimes.
rugby is the faggot verison of football. and no if u get hit it doesnt mean ur 2 slow. if ur a lineman its just job to get hit..u obviously dont know how to play
@tonyalva14 I obviously don't know how to play? You obviously don't know how to spell, for one, and I wasn't a dumb giant who decided that he wasn't good enough to do anything but play linebacker.
so your telling me Adrian Peterson is moving to slow? Your going to say Micheal Turner, Chris Johnson, Randy Moss, Wes welker, Ronnie Brown, and Antonio Gates are moving too slow. If you new anything about football you would know that no matter what on every play your going to get hit. Football players are big and usually quick. Heck even Vince Wilfork is sort of fast.
@startingbacker84 I didn't say they always move slow. I'm saying when you get hit it's your fault entirely for moving too slow and not paying attention.
Well the pnt of the game is you will usually get hit and tackled almost every play. There is no player in the world who has a gaurenteed touchdown every time he has the ball.
I'm trying to emphasize that point that no matter what you get hit at full speed! Almost no football player will pull up on a hit, unless it's the allstay game. It is uncommon to see someone break 50 + yard runs. Apparently though you out ran everyone on the field so you never got hit, or you never saw time on the field. Also I never said there was points for getting tackles except for on things like fantasy leagues.
A sport is defined as a competitive game in which skill OR physical prowess is involved. This game constitutes as a sport. As does checkers or chess. Eat that, deniers.
what the fuck is this id this really a fucking sport i didnt hear about it until recently what the fuck they should just make a sport of tag or how about freeze tag
this is not a SPORT... this is a PASSTIME or a GAME.
they have shuffleboard at my local bar... any game that you can play while WASTED and STILL BE GOOD AT does NOT need to be in the olympics... granted, shuffleboard and curling are NOT the same, i know that smartasses, but basically.... it IS. This GAME is probably fun to PLAY, but not to WATCH, especially when there SHOULD be hockey and more snowboard halfpipe on my TV. this is the "aerobic gymnastics" of the winter games.
my parents have been watching the winter olympics and i have to say.. this is the stupidest shit i've ever seen.. i wouldnt even consider it a sport... they clean the floor to get an object in the middle.. idc if its difficult or not.. its plain stupid.
@bonethug68 yeah, just like how basketball is so stupid, you're trying to get a ball into a hoop! Or golf is so dumb, because it's trying to get a ball into a hole! Or football is retarded, because you're trying to get a ball past a line! Use your head. Don't be dense.
different cus basketball and football require alot of physcial strengh, endurrence, and u need 2 b athletic. u kno in the olypics a prego woman is on one of the teams..that rite there proves this sport is a totally joke,,why isnt air hocky in the olymics?? same thing? pool?
Nope, Sports don't REQUIRE strength to be considered a sport. Ping pong? sport. doesn't require strength to be great at ping pong. Golf? Sport. weight training is not required. Bowling? Sport. Just enough muscle to hold up a ball. Curling is not a strength intensive sport, but strength is not a requirement for a game to be called a sport. Like someone said above me, curling requires strategy, teamwork, balance, aim
OMFG this was one of the most intense moments in sports history. I actually developed a serious case of swamp ass when I was watching this and it was like 40 degrees in my house! I wonder if someone is going to develop a PS3 curling game. It would sell like hot cakes!

As much as this seems stupid, it's alot about controlling the friction of ice. It needs some talent.

Ok, this could be exiting with a few changes. Combine it with Pro-Wrestling, you could have sneak attacks, foreign objects, double crosses, trash talking your opponents......
On second thought i dont think that would even help this any.

corbilcious 1 year ago
when you're going to insult someone, at least use proper grammar and correct spelling. both sports are cool. americans will love football more than rugby, and apparently wherever you're from, people will love rugby more than football. it's a never ending argument that no side will ever win, so give up.

hey Dizsdh if you played American Football you would understand why we use all the pads. Unlike in some contact sports like rugby you try to stick some one as hard as you can, and I rarely see any other sport having head to head collisions at full speed, except for hockey sometimes.
startingbacker84 1 year ago 3
@startingbacker84 I did play it for three years. Never saw the point of the pads. If you get hit, you were moving too slow.
Dizsdh 1 year ago
rugby is the faggot verison of football. and no if u get hit it doesnt mean ur 2 slow. if ur a lineman its just job to get hit..u obviously dont know how to play
tonyalva14 1 year ago
@tonyalva14 I obviously don't know how to play? You obviously don't know how to spell, for one, and I wasn't a dumb giant who decided that he wasn't good enough to do anything but play linebacker.
Dizsdh 1 year ago
so your telling me Adrian Peterson is moving to slow? Your going to say Micheal Turner, Chris Johnson, Randy Moss, Wes welker, Ronnie Brown, and Antonio Gates are moving too slow. If you new anything about football you would know that no matter what on every play your going to get hit. Football players are big and usually quick. Heck even Vince Wilfork is sort of fast.
startingbacker84 1 year ago
@startingbacker84 I didn't say they always move slow. I'm saying when you get hit it's your fault entirely for moving too slow and not paying attention.
Dizsdh 1 year ago
Well the pnt of the game is you will usually get hit and tackled almost every play. There is no player in the world who has a gaurenteed touchdown every time he has the ball.
startingbacker84 1 year ago
@startingbacker84 The point of the game is to get tackled. Right. Okay. I didn't know points were scored for getting hit.
Dizsdh 1 year ago
I'm trying to emphasize that point that no matter what you get hit at full speed! Almost no football player will pull up on a hit, unless it's the allstay game. It is uncommon to see someone break 50 + yard runs. Apparently though you out ran everyone on the field so you never got hit, or you never saw time on the field. Also I never said there was points for getting tackles except for on things like fantasy leagues.

this is not a SPORT... this is a PASSTIME or a GAME.
they have shuffleboard at my local bar... any game that you can play while WASTED and STILL BE GOOD AT does NOT need to be in the olympics... granted, shuffleboard and curling are NOT the same, i know that smartasses, but basically.... it IS. This GAME is probably fun to PLAY, but not to WATCH, especially when there SHOULD be hockey and more snowboard halfpipe on my TV. this is the "aerobic gymnastics" of the winter games.

@bonethug68 yeah, just like how basketball is so stupid, you're trying to get a ball into a hoop! Or golf is so dumb, because it's trying to get a ball into a hole! Or football is retarded, because you're trying to get a ball past a line! Use your head. Don't be dense.

tonyalva14 1 year ago
Nope, Sports don't REQUIRE strength to be considered a sport. Ping pong? sport. doesn't require strength to be great at ping pong. Golf? Sport. weight training is not required. Bowling? Sport. Just enough muscle to hold up a ball. Curling is not a strength intensive sport, but strength is not a requirement for a game to be called a sport. Like someone said above me, curling requires strategy, teamwork, balance, aim
