For many of these sports the talent pool is miniscule. If you have half a brain and any athleticism most ordinary folks would have a good shot at medaling, yes

Have you tried playing it online? Give it a shot. There are a few sites where you can play, a mouseclick adjusts the spin, angle, and velocity.

no, no you couldn't

curling is literally a combo of chess, pool, bowling - requiring intelligence in physics and geometry. No, I don't mean PhD, send a rocket to the moon, level of physics knowledge either.
In other words, this board is full of legit retards, so there is no one on this board that could even pretend to do it.

You have to really wonder how pathethic all the other people are that compete in thesesports, to get beaten out by the retards that actually do make it to the olympics
I mean we're talking bottom of the barrel type of stuff

Why do people say 40 pounds like it's some insurmountable weight? It's lighter than an empty barbell

>most of us would probably me able have a medal shot with like 2 weeks of practice
That's most Olympic sports. We just need to lock in bros.

>indoor bowls but on snow
I'd be ashamed to admit being a curler
