I came in last night from checking heifers- and Grandma was watching the Gold medal game of womens curling... I got interested and sat down and watched it.. I think its the first full match I watched since they went to the push brooms- and isn't as exciting (?) as back when they had the old witches type brooms....

Anyway-- I was rooting for the Canucks- but all those big blonde Swede girls beat them...

We had a question- what kind of shoes do those curlers wear that they have traction to move quickly -but still seem to skate on them?


They have a slider one one shoe. Some use a removeable slider.


Thanks Big Muddy-- and burnt your description sums it up quite well....The eyes on both of those ladies- and the intensity you see in those eyes just stand out when you're watching it....

My Mom is Norwegian so I was rooting for Norway, too. It was fun to watch and the best team won.
