Sweden knew Canada's Marc Kennedy was a notorious cheater.

So they set up a camera at the 'hog line' to record it.

And caught him doing it at the Olympics.

This is one of those sports that I don't really understand the purpose of.

Outside of things like running or swimming, do ANY sports have a purpose?

I mean they make way too much money so you could argue yes I suppose. But curling is just... Weird... Like that thing where they chase wheels of cheese down a hill makes more sense than curling.

It makes sense if you understand its historical context. Its a traditional winter game from the 16th century when people were bored out of their minds in the cold ass scottland winters.

Hey tankies aren't wrong all the time. Thus far !sprots@hexbear.net has been the most active sports community i've found on here, which isn't saying much, if you know any better ones let me know.
