Has to be a sport already in the Olympics

Curling, if we count Winter Olympics as well. Quite a few of the athletes look not nearly as athletic as in other disciplines, and I dare say I can whip up some vicious mopping.

My respect for curling was greatly increased when I walked into a room where it was showing on TV, and they were smoking (don’t smoke, kids) and someone was having a sandwich.

I asked if they had won and were allowed to celebrate right there on the ice?

My mate said, “Nah. They’re still competing right now.”

I don’t know if my mate was messing with me, or what.

But I want to believe. An Olympian who doesn’t let competing interfere with a good sandwich… Is one who has my eternal respect.

It’s the actual curling you’ve got to get good at, shuffleboard in steroids
