Ya, not very good advertising for Olympia. I bet their sales just took a nosedive! It still boggles my mind why they didn't have a backup.

And I have to agree totally. The Olympics is about offering things that appeal to a broad audience. Curling might not be super intense but if we win medals in Curling I'd be just as happy. I challenge anyone to try curling once, if you haven't. It's a LOT harder than it looks. I think it's also more of a sport where a poorer country has just as much chance of winning as the next guy (don't need hightech speed suit or expensive custom gear to play). It really all comes down to skill.
