Is there any "pace of play" concerns with Curlers?

It's a drinking sport right? I'm certainly not concerned with pace of play.

My wife and I signed up for curling this year with no prior experience. One of the first things the instructor told us was "Winners buy the first round, losers buy the second round."

Thank god!!!

lets talk about it?

I love the Winter Olympics. Unsure if this one will deliver, we'll see. Lots of artificial snow made next to a desert, bad for the climate, and meanwhile the water gets worse in the big nearby cities. Also unsure of the audience interest. Lots of corona infections.

What I saw of the opening ceremony was beautiful. Well done.

Hey guys how bout those Olympics amirite?

Nervous for my girl Mikaela tonight!

poor girl is under some immense pressure to perform. they’re saying her name every five seconds.

They didn't say a peep when she was at the starting gate. The nerves even from her fans/announcers.

I'm glad she finishes. Thats huge.

Ive met her a couple times and appraised her home here. She has a great reputation in town. She is absolutely an incredible skier and it was really heartbreaking to see her first two races turn out like that.

Is she girlfriend material?

That luge relay could be my new favorite Olympic sport

Men’s Cross Country Relay now, always a big event here. Giant Slalom as well as the same time. Olympics hitting on all cylinders now.

Amazing day for Norway today, three gold, two silver.

I watched maybe 2 minutes of this Olympics coverage

I’ve watched many hours. Unbelieavable Olympics for Norway.

Having a hard time caring about these Olympics. Too many solo timed and/or judged events. Snowcross, curling, and biathlon are entertaining though.
