Why is curling an Olympic sport?
 

Why is curling an Olympic sport and involuntary luge is not?

For the same reason snow boarding.

You ever curled before? Try it and come back and tell me how easy it is. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Why is curling an Olympic sport? Canadians

We're pushing for Olympic ice fishing next.

Funnily enough when I awoke this morning the TV was still on and it was indeed Canadians Curling :)

i hate curling with passion :pimp

The bigger question is why does the guy on the US team have a 1980's pornstache?

Why shouldn't it be an Olympic sport?

OMG Mark :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

People have no sense of humor. This post isn't about curling, it's about involuntary luge.

I didn't get what involuntary luge was. Had to look it up. Now I get it. :1orglaugh

sports are voted in by the panel. they have stuff that does not make it on tv

Those curling chicks are the hottest women in sports!!!!!

Why don't they call it ice sweeping? More accurate.

^^^ Truth

Because sweeping is just one part of the process of "curling" the rock.

To provoque the old folks ...

Your ignorance is showing once again. If any of you had ever tried it you would really see that it has a lot of skill to it, requires many talents that other athletics require. Balance, touch, strength, focus among others.

Wheeeeeeeeee! looks like fun :thumbsup:thumbsup

So does beer pong. But thats not a Summer Olympic event.

Curling gives my anxiety a run for it's money.

I wouldn't call it a sport, but its pretty popular in some provinces of Canada...

I'm sure curling does take a lot of skill. Then again, so does shuffleboard.

Here is a true reason as to "why"

OP could not necessary be about curling being easy, could be about it being non sport. - not my opinion, just thinking what could one mean by that statement :)

Edit: did not see he already posted something along these lines :)
