That’s how my Mrs explained it to me in simple terms.
literally both glued to it and Mrs M is calling the shots before they’ve played them. I genuinely had no idea ha had a clue about the sport! She was a very high level skier so I guess she’s had more exposure to these events but I’m baffled
The 8th end was where they lost it....too many loose stones forcing them to settle for 1.
Tried it a few months ago (there is a great facility at The Flower Bowl near Preston if anyone is interested - one of the few real ice curling rinks in England).
If I did 2 hours of sliding ice lunges with my knee up to my head (if I could) I wouldn't be able to walk for a month.......
A lot of watching others and walking up and down too....and the action they coach is actually more like bowling, they don't encourage sliding.......knees on the ice cause it to heat up and melt. and is a no no. Obviously they allow the olympians to do that!
So never then? When is it on, besides the winter Olympics??Myself and the wife are currently glued to the curling and I’ve discovered she’s a bloody expert. I’ve been asking alsorts of questions and she’s been answering before the commentators say anything. Been together 10years and I had no idea she liked the sport and she’s announces “I love it, I watch it all the time when it’s on and you’re not home”. You think you know someone
Had a quick check. BBC iplayer will show the European and World Championships as well. Beyond that, there are platforms like the Curling Channel, Grand Slam of Curling website and YouTube.
She watches the worlds, Europeans and she’s also an ex international skier (slalom racer). So she watched it loads over the years whilst she’s away at comps and training camps and I never had a clue
