l tried it once and fell on my butt a couple of times and they aways have somebody yelling at you. It reminded me a lot of the army. It is a lot tougher than it looks. Plus it is on ice for crying out loud!

Well when you have 40 year-old canadien women schooling everyone in sight - there is not much room for calling it a sport. But everyone wants to be an athlete, so just let them be happy.

l would say it is as much a sport as bowling. The games are somewhat similiar, both throw a large object down a narrow path.

Seriously, no, considered, yes. l love that cute little rock though. It is adorable, but there is no point in this sport!

l am tired of defining sports. Let is just not call anything a sport every again.

It is a competitive activity, like baseball, soccer, swimming and hot dog eating.

l agree that it is not a sport. any more than shuffleboard is a sport. its shuffleboard on ice.

Let the canadians have their ice sports. Hockey is soccer on ice. Curling is Shuffleboard on Ice. Speed Skating is Track on Ice. Figure Skating is Dancing on Ice.

Now let me make up some canadain sports..

Ice Football- Watch out Ricky!

Ice Polo- Horses on skates on ice would be grrrrrrrrrreat

Ice Basketball or BaskICEBall

Ice Derby- Roller Derby on Ice.

Curling is definitely a sport. It is lawn bowling on ice, and do not forget lawn bowling is one of the biggest sports in the British Isles; so why not curling for good old Canada.

what IS curling??

Of course it is a sport. l am assuming that most people who knock it have never actually tried it. Curling takes precision, speed, strength, strategy and timing. You can not just walk out on the ice and throw the stone right into the house on your first try. Stop knocking a sport just because you do not understand it. l do not understand cricket but its still a sport.

they consider it a sport in the olympics but l guess it is stupid.

You may not work up much of sweat curling, but it is a lot harder than it looks. If anyone thinks it is easy u can put ur own team together(it is not like u have to be drafted or have money-just join a club!), win ur club championship, then ur state championship, then ur national title, & then u can move on to the Olympics/Worlds.

At my club l play in the club playdowns against an Olympic champion even though l am not that great a curler. l probably will never beat him, but at least he has to beat me to move on & l get to try my luck against an Olympic medalist. No other sport is like that.

It is not really a 'big' sport.
The biggest sport in the world is football (soccer for you US yellowbellies) and one of the smallest is curling. But it is more of a sport than american football, baseball or basketball. They are not popular outside the US, so l consider them small sports. Curling is populair outside the US, so it is a big sport.
