But then, the Winter Olympics as a whole are a joke. Norway is going to win the most medals. Countries frozen over a lot of the year have a huge advantage.
You're so close to getting it haha.

Maybe look into why the Norwegians actually win so many medals. You might learn something.
He will learn nothing

I guess if USA doesnt win it doesnt count
That's not my point at all. My point is that most of the world does not participate in these Winter Olympics events, including hockey. The event last year featuring four countries was far better.

I will say that curling is fun to watch. It is like shuffleboard on ice. Also a couple of more possible summer Olympics sports similar to curling that we can enjoy next time besides shuffleboard; croquet and bocce.

Oh-leave hockey alone.

In my younger days, we'd have a beer-hockey tournament. After the games, we'd slide the 12-pack cubes (are those still around?) and "sweep" ice dust with sticks. Geesh, that never ended well!

Biathlon was badass too. Target shoot in a snowstorm after dragging (donkey) around on ski's. That takes skill.

I agree about curling. I have developed an appreciation for the sport this year. Plenty of skill and strategy needed to win. It really helps when you learn the game.
