Of all the sports...

[Katahu]

...this sport takes the prize of being the least understandable of all time.

I don't know the name of the sport, but it's when you two people sweep two brooms ahead of a heavy object that looks like an over-sized hockey puck sliding to whatever the heck it's suppose to go.

What the heck is the point of that game in the Olympics?

[Craig.]

You mean curling?
The sport which only a few days back got practically a whole topic to itself?

[ozzy72]

It is called curling and it is the most pointless thing alongside synchronised swimming as an Olympic event

I heard somewhere that at after one of the curling events at the olympics, there was a streaker running around the ice

[ozzy72]

I trust it was a woman 'cos if it was a bloke even if he was hung like a donkey in those temperatures it'd have sunk to the size of a fishing maggot

[BFMF]

I heard he was wearing a strategically placed rubber chicken

[ozzy72]

Then he wasn't streaking just demonstrating a lack of good dress sense

Found an article about the streaker.....

This report made me giggle. I don't think he'll be doing that again.

An armed police officer threw the offender into the freezing mountain air without even allowing him to get dressed. "Please will someone bring me my clothes?" said the man in a Scottish accent.

We brits really do suck at olympic related sports:) Well except boating events. Otherwise it begs the question, why are we hosting an event we cant even win a medal at?

[Hagar]

why are we hosting an event we cant even win a medal at?

I must admit the same thought had occurred to me.
I'm with Foz on this one.

That isn't fair guys at the Summer Olympics we've consistantly been winning more medals over the last decade.
We've improved in athletics, dominated (briefly) in cycling, and kicked botty in mens hockey, and as for boxing anyone remember a certain silver medal? Britain is FINALLY coming out of a slump as the government has finally realised it should help support out athletes like all the other countries do
