Olympic Curling

I recently read an article about how the US curling team had an upset against a much less experienced Italy team. After watching curling on TV for about ten minutes, I decided that I would rather watch paint dry. It was the most boring event I had ever seen. The gameplay was slow and it didn't seem like it took much strategy. If you are a watcher of the Olympics - do you even care about the curling event? Most Olympic events take a lot of physical ability. All that they do in curling is push a rock and broom in front of it. Do you think that curling should even be an olympic event? Surely there is something out there that is a more worthy event than this. What do you think? If you would like to read the article the link is http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11372074/ [1]
