Sorry Justin..... No curling for me....... But I do like the figure skating. Even the gay mens division. Ice dancing was really good/ I thought and the racing on skis was a hoot... Very Happy

Curling is actually incredibly tough at that level not much room for error-at the local bonspiel level-think rye and lots of it-it can be really fun!! Sara is the curler in our house-I used to alot in my younger days lol. Not sure if all male figure skaters are gay but most are happy to be there lol.

Nope Katrina if you can't skate you don't even try figure skating-most oif us put our kids put our kids into intriductory figure skating so they learn to ose their edges right before they start hockey. No matter what your orientation you need to be an extrordinary athlete to be good at it.

Curling has a chess thinking component and skill as well each stone has different characteristics that at this level makes a difference. Way harder than it looks. At the local bonspiel level or club level it can be serious or not and is extremely fun when you beat a serious team. Our club has large screen TVs and multiple sports on at once. Also good food and drink for those that indulge. Then there are the people that you get to hang out with, all the way from Downtown Ceo's to garbage truck drivers. Lots of fun to be sure.

As for figure skating, way harder than hockey skating and not as much fun.

Never paid much attention to curling before this year but I've been watching quite a bit of it. Looks easy, but I'm sure it takes a lot of skill, especially at that level.
