I seldom watch the Olympics a Bob sled race here or there, if a female skater has a nice backside of cleavage showing Ill watch that.

EXCEPT curling.

Now I like that. not sure why. Maybe because its the one sport that maybe a fat old fuck like me could be good at. I really think I would too. I am well above average at shuffle board on concrete or the bar top game. And I have swept a lot of floors in my time.

 

How does one find a place to even try curling and would I need special shoes?

 

What events if any do you watch?

It is a very difficult game to play well, but not that difficult to play socially.

 

At the level that picture represents, it means being able to throw a 44 pound stone down 140 feet of ice and have it stop within the thickness of a playing card from another rock. It demonstrates a level of precision that is far above that found in any other purely athletic, (dependent on muscle and movement) sport. 

That's why people watch it.
