Hah, Da1's picture is great.

"Okay, so Billy's going to get a pack of Camels from his brother... Tim, you bring your PVC pipe, and Yefei, you bring that wooden sword you used when you played one of the pirates in Peter Pan. This picture's gonna be the shit!"

you missed the cleaver.

[Mantra-Slider]

I see at least 2-3 cute girls there.. (team sweden)

[RATTY...]

Is K A N E in that pic of 'Team America' ?

Think so.

[Galleleo]

hahaha

[Dabram]

seriously how is curling a sport?

[Troll King]

How isn't it?

[Dabram]

just because you wear a tracking suit doesn't make you an athlete. it's nothing more than jeux de boules / bowls on ice, and bowls isn't an olympic sport either. curling fits in the same category as bowling, darts, poker, chess and any cardgame, any boardgame and even any computergame, they're games and not sports. they don't require any physical effort / talent, which is what olympics are about?

there's just too few wintersports to fill an olympics with. that's why every sport has a ton of different disciplines aswell. how ridicilous is it to have biathlon next to langlaufen? 2men-bobsled, 3men-bobsled and 4men-bobsled? the biggest joke is of course 2men-skeleton, who would actual want to lay on top?

You're being silly now. You need skills in curling, how to aim, where to hit, where to put a guard etc. Cardgames are based on luck and a little skill, curling is skill only.

[Dabram]

ok cardgames were a bad example. but compare it to bowls (which is exactly the same except not on ice), bowling and darts. there's no physical effort involved in either of these games. that's why they're not sports but games. all you need to get good at aiming / strategy is practise hours. there's only a mental aspect..

(way to pick out only 3 words i wrote btw.)

[K2Grey]

Bowling and darts require physical _precision_. You need to be able to hit the exact spot or throw something in an exact way. People have different degrees of precision just like how some people are born with more dexterity or grace than others. You don't need to be strong but you do need to be very precise and it's not just a mental deal.

Chess is actually pretty exhausting when you play it seriously, which is why people tended to prepare for world championship matches by physically training for months ahead of the game. But I will admit that is not a predominantly physical sport.

[Galleleo]

I think 1 could train on curling and 1 would not have to be born with exceptional skill, curling is mostly tactical game, and the speed and turning rate of the curl and stuff is just a feeling you need to create. I think that you don't need that much skill to become good at curling, it's more a question of training.

[Mr. Peanuts]

You obviously just dislike the game and cant find any credible argument as to why it shouldn't be a sport.

Someone could say the same about golf.
