Ok I am feeling stupid again.
for the first 19 years of my life I spent most of my free time on the ice (Figure skating)
Now I see in the Winter olymipcs "Curling" what county did that become a sport in, and is this the first olymipic games that it is in. Am I that far out of th loop in sports? ( all of my years on the ice I have not seen or heard of this sport until 3 weeks ago.)

I think it was 1924 when they first awarded medals for curling ( which they just announced ). But was officially added to the program in 1998.

Prior to 1998 it had only been a demonstration event. Heres a quick article if you really want to know.

WOW I was still skating in 1998 we have the big olympic ice center here in WI and I never saw this before. Must not have been big in this part of the country. Up intill now.

You had never heard of curling before?? Just seems wierd because I have grown up with it. I havent actually ever played, but it has always been here to my knowledge.

Were you ever in any competitions?? Thinking of competing in Vancouver in 2010???

yes I did compete I was never nearly good enough to make the olympic team not that good. I used to compete at the State fair park back in the day before it was a multi million $$$ national ice center. Now I am getting old and out of shape I still have my skates though.

That's okay I was born in the country they say curling originated & never heard of it until I came to Canada.

[Furiousg]

I play shuffle board at my Grandma's Elderly Complex, does that count??

and it's never too late to try again. You can be in top form by 2010. Be a hell of a comeback I'd say They'd make movies about it.

( Not the made-for-tv kind either )...I think Rachel McAdams would portray the part well.

What country did this sport originate from?

That would also be the home of golf. There are some arguments out there about both though. "Scots wa hae wi Wallace bled".

I'm going to fathom a guess that it wasn't Tijuana
