Anyway, I am watching Curling, and watching outside, checking the progress of the Sun as it comes over our roof and melts the ice on the windshield of our cars.
Almost all of these curlers are cute, not sure if that is a prerequisite or not, and they all seem very agile. I don't know how they stand and walk on the ice with such ease. I do know that they wear different shoes, one smooth and one not, I guess. They actually look like they are skating, but without skates.
What they want the "stone" to do, and what it actually does, with the help of the "sweepers" is truly remarkable, a game of fractions of an inch and speed control that is incredible. I remember "the angle of reflection equal the angle of incidence. When shooting pool, my Dad always reminded me of that.
These women are incredible and I am not even sure what they are doing, but I know they are doing it well, such intense expressions.
I still marvel at how they are able to stand on the ice. Camera is above, and ads and logos are frozen under the ice. How clever. Ford is apparently a big sponsor.
Wikipedia: Curling is a sport in which players slide stones across a sheet of ice towards a target area which is segmented into four rings.
It won't become a major sport, but you have to be impressed with what they do, and on ice no less.
