It's great sport, made a little easier since they got rid of the corn broom. When I used that corn broom, my heart rate would occasionally skyrocket the sweeping was so rigorous. Wiki says stones/rocks weigh between 38 and 44 pounds.
Takes a sharp eye, a featherlite touch, and an accurate reading of the ice (like driving) to do a good draw. Takes the same accuracy and "heavy weight" - a booming rock - to "clear the house".
Anybody who hasn't looked into this sport/activity doesn't know what they're missing.
All these O-competitors go back to day jobs. You cannot earn a living curling. Top-ranked teams curl during the season on ice right beside rank amateurs. Top-rankers would not Lord it over the amateurs. They'd probably strike up a chat and discuss strategy.
Unlike golf, curling is anything but elitist. It's a great equalizer. Anybody can play and if you're Canadian, at one time or another, you most likely have.
