So this past week I
have been glued to the TV, watching the Olympics. I love the winter games – the skating, the
hockey, the insane ski cross, and the curling.
I am crazy about curling! It is
like shuffleboard but with a 40 lb stone.
We were introduced to Olympic curling 4 years ago at the Vancouver games
and I have been looking forward to watching it in Sochi. We tune in to the Canadian station to get
better coverage, as I’m not sure the US really knows anything about the sport. CBC on the other hand, gives us exhaustive
reporting of every throw and zeros in on the frantic sweepers. It may
not look like much on the screen but live, it is quite exciting. We also went back to Vancouver to watch
curling in the Paralympics and were astounded at the athleticism demonstrated
by the wheelchair-bound curlers. I hope
they televise the Paralympics from Sochi too.
