Is there a more boring spectator sport than curling? 19:28 - Feb 18 with 2446 viewsDubtractor

Been watching bits of the winter Olympics, and there is an excessive amount of it on the coverage.

If you think the champions league format is bloated these days, then winter Olympic curling would like a word.

I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun. I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.

You have to admire those on the ski jumps and boards doing those fantastic tricks Shirley ?

The bobsleigh and skeleton are pretty good to watch ba.


Agree Benters. It’s been great - with the exception of Curling which just doesn’t do it for me. Each to their own.

And let’s face it they think that the tug of war and lobbing a telegraph pole are sports.

Leave them to their “fun”.

I don’t mind it but it’s not one I look out for if you catch my drift.

The winter olympics is generally crap IMO. The summer olympics is brilliant. I'm sure there are many who think the complete opposite.


I think the opposite. Some summer Olympic sports can be extremely dull, like taekwondo, Greco-Roman wrestling, fencing, judo. At least most of the winter sports seem to be somewhat fast paced.

And the curling is good because we're half decent at it.

Jesus, Glassers, I'd originally come on the thread intending to have a pop at Dubbers for slating curling, but this is a particularly dreadful take. Few things finer in life than a day at a test match.


Nah, GB is spot on here.

Such a good sport, chess on ice.

Clearly one for the more intellectual, higher functioning adults amongst us.

After the Swiss had won 9 on the bounce that's a staggering result. I strongly fancy a fourth gold now however silver would still be remarkable. Unusually I have a soft spot for all sports. My partner and I are off to the marbles world champs on Good Friday!

Amazing. Assume there are different categories?

Jumbos, ball bearings, speckys, that sort of thing?

Both Scottish (sorry GB) teams showed how exciting the game can be today. It's a bit like the snooker though, it can be a bit dull in the early rounds.

Not much excitement in the Skeleton

Finishing positions from run to run don't change much and differentiating between a good and an average run isn't exactly easy to the untrained eye

At least its over quickly though...

Funnily I feel that way about rugby. Dreadful to watch, brilliant to play.
