But more and more stories are similar to the "challenging" one you point to, and I expect more like that in future.<BR/>And there will be puff pieces, nearly all of them originating in the States, and we have to expect that. It was only five or six years ago that the last Canadian media mind ripped curling... and we northerners haven't heard a similar word since.

For once, there's a writer who wrote about how challenging the game is to play. Some people worry that will discourage new curlers — I think anything we can do to make people realize the sport is an athletic pursuit is in the best interests of curling.
