curling is very difficult. the whole sliding out with all your weight balanced on one foot in an extended lunge is very tricky. Other parts of curling--sweeping, and calling for what shot you want the skip to throw are pretty intuitive. Will have to do it more until I figure out the sliding. If you can keep the slide under control, throwing a well aimed and properly curling stone is manageable. if you slide badly, it is all over. many thinks to the pembina curling club. Teenage competitive curlers are a humorous breed. sortof like a cross between D&D kids and XC runners.

Darts, billiards and bowling are all very difficult too, but strike me more as games than athletic contests worthy of Olympics recognition. Same goes for curling...and golf as well. Glad you are enjoying the new game in your life. It sure beats Texas Hold 'em.
