curling is shuffleboard, i understand these people are in shape, fine...but this isnt a thing...i am playing shuffleboard tomorrow night at the local brewery, i guess im an olympic athlete now...watch skiing or snowboarding, it actually takes talent.

Shuster turned it around just in time

he was sucking ass in the first half of the round robin
Shuster started tearing up about failing in the Olympics over and over like Dan Jansen and he wanted this to be his redemption.
While I thought to myself there shouldn't be any crying in curling and it was overdramatic for a sport that should have keg stands to determine tie-breakers, I'm glad to see him get redemption.

Have you ever curled? When you watch the guys on the PGA tour play golf it looks easy. Try curling. I think your opinion might change.
how exactly does doping improve you in curling? Sure, curling weight in the gym but sliding a “rock” on ice in what is essentially bocce on ice? WTF is that all about?
She’s certainly one of the strangest things I’ve seen coming out of any olympics. It’s just so far from what I would deem the spirit of the competition on the world stage and it’s embarrassing that any country would endorse that. They really have to close the loophole on that one.

Meldonium would help your ability to sweep harder and not get tired through the match. I know it seems funny that curling is not physically demanding like most sports but sweeping like that is exhausting.

It’s beyond funny especially if you consider he’s the only one, that we know of anyway, who’s been caught. It really highlights the widespread issues with their program.
I don't know how physically difficult curling is Â
why I picked this particular olympics to start paying attention to curling but it certainly was a helluva run for the U.S. mens team culminating in a huge upset win over Sweden for the gold. I tried turnng it off around 3am to get some sleep but it was too riveting and ended up watching our saggy athletes bring it home after 4am EST. USA! USA! USA!

I am not saying it is easy, im saying it is an activity...if your comparing how hard golf is to how hard curling is...come on man, im a 1 handicap and still get how hard golf is, there is no harder game...apples and oranges.
I'm sure the book is thrilled

We're now guaranteed gold or silver.

I like sports anyone can play. Kinda like bowling. Not everyone can do the halfpipe or twirl on the ice. Everyone can do sports like this.
I putt-putt so I must be fucking awesome at golf.

Russian, not Canadian. And it was explained above, to have more stamina for sweeping.

but a a Canadian player was caught doping up? For what? Stronger fingers? Can someone explain this?

Thanks. Hell, my Italian mother could sweep for hours and still had time to do the laundry.
