I know everyone always makes fun of curling, but there is an aspect of it that is mental. Combination of geometry and physics, with a lot of strategy. At the 2026 Winter Olympics, the U.S. mixed doubles curling team of Cory Thiesse and Korey Dropkin has started with a perfect 4-0 record, marking the best start for a U.S. curling team in Olympic history. They defeated Norway (8-6), Switzerland (7-4), Canada (7-5), and Czechia (8-1). They take on undefeated Great Britain and South Korea on Saturday, and Estonia and Sweden on Sunday. --------------------- DJT-45/47 MAGA !!!!! “Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur.” "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it." — Mark Twain “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” — H.

I've always liked team USA hockey, super G, and Bobsled/Bobsleigh. Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity DISCLAIMER: These are the author's own personal views and do not represent the views of the author's employer. | |||

Downhill, Super-G, Giant Slalom, Ski jumping, Bobsled/Luge, mostly because of the higher speeds and because wipeouts can be spectacular. Biathlon because, well, guns. | |||

Looking forward to seeing how they do ski-mountaineering, which is the newest addition to the games. Skimo is rapidly gaining popularity here in the US, as Cam Smith is the most decorated American. | |||

Just curious, where would someone find a curling facility in the U.S. to watch and/or learn? | |||

All I know is a skater from the Milwaukee area is rated rather high. I don’t really watch but hopefully he does well. | |||

Jordan Stolz. He's an amazing talent. | |||

An Irish skier just finished almost 13 seconds behind the leader in the Men's downhill. Wonder if he rented his skis. | |||

The Olympic Oval in Salt Lake City. My BIL lives outside of SLC and we have gone for lessons a couple of times. A great family outing. https://utaholympiclegacy.org/activity/learn-to-curl/ FWIW, this Olympics used this site in 2002 and will use it again in 2034. Let me help you out. Which way did you come in? | |||

I would search the internet for curling clubs in Florida. Oh look! The first result is Loggerhead Curling Club, South Florida’s only curling club. I cheated though because I knew the facilities are called curling clubs. When we belonged to one in Wisconsin, they were basically social drinking clubs somewhere between a country club and the Moose Lodge. We competed in bonspiels at other clubs in Wisconsin and northern Illinois. | |||

I've only done curling once and it was in Anchorage, AK. The local curling club's facility was approx. a 1:1 size ratio of bar to ice rink. Kind of like a bowling alley, but the lanes replaced with an ice rink for curling.

Or you could try your local club: Pittsburg Curling Club, 491 McCoy Rd, McKees Rocks, PA. ( https://pittsburghcurlingclub.com/ ) "Cedat Fortuna Peritis" | |||

Watched curling a while back to see what the big deal was. Now I enjoy the heck out of it. | |||

I like watching figure skating but hate the subjective scoring system. Too many excellent skaters get robbed for silly shit. I still can't figure out how they can do that spinning thing without getting dizzy.  ________________________________________________________ It is long past time for a Convention of States.

I like CC skiing and of course the shooting version  There are always great stories. But the headlines are dumb, like vaughn. I hate the silly shit. The ones that bring their stupid politics into it  "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

Ice hockey. Also, I’m keeping an eye out for Ilia Malinin. Men’s figure skating. Today. Guy can do a quad axel and does flips like he’s on solid ground. He’s amazing. __________________________ "Trust, but verify." | |||
