If have no idea what is going on in that photo, then you are missing out on some high quality Olympic action! We're talking about CURLING folks. It's a crazy Olympic sport where teams of 4 take turns throwing (or pushing rather) large stones across the ice, while two teammates "sweep" out in front of the stone to help it "curl" in the direction they want, or to help it go straight. The point of the game is to get your stones into the target (aka "the house") at the other end of the ice, and to knock any of your opponent's stones out of the house. It may not seem as exciting as freestyle skiing or the luge, but it's one of our favorites. We like it because of the strategy and precision involved in play. And because, let's face it, it's kind of weird.
For some crazy reason, they don't seem to air it on regular NBC, only on CNBC or MSNBC, so if you don't have cable or satellite, you probably haven't seen any Olympic coverage of this fine pass-time. But don't you fret my friends. If you've got an itch to try out some curling for yourself, just hop on over to playcurling.com to give it a whirl! (You can play without having to create an account by clicking "Practice Mode"). We've enjoyed a few hours of online stone throwing fun ourselves, so now it's your turn! What are you waiting for?! Go on over and get your curl on! Your Olympic experience just won't be complete without it.
