I remember watching this and being so blown away by it. The first shot is by far my favourite shot ever made.

@guesswhoimcool Pretending that you don't is totally making your e-cool evaporate ;D

@TeknikalyRite Ew, okay, thats just gross. And it's obviousy not, so why would you even say that. Thats really immature. Ew.

@guesswhoimcool "And, oh, that means physical activity, so that means its sport!"

So, by that criteria, is masturbation considered a sport? If so, I need to move to Canada. :3

I have never played curling before, but I have to say from the moment I first saw a curling game it got my attention, and I cant stop watching videos and I cant help but to want to play curling some day before I die, and im 19.

Thanks so much for uploading this. Living in Canada I didn't get to hear Don Chevriar call curling for CNBC at the 2006 Olympics and it turned out to be the final (major) event he called before he passed away. He was a true legened in Canadian (and American) broadcasting.

Its not just sliding rocks on ice. You have to have skill and accuracy. But you wouldn't understand that. You have to be able to have the right line on the rock, the right amount of weight, be able to sweep well.( Oh,which I can) And, oh, that means physical activity, so that means its sport! And no, not only do Canadians and Scottish think it's a sport, the whole world does! So, I guess were laughing at you!
