Look at her. That’s Andrea Schoepp of Germany, skip of the German national curling team. She looks absolutely terrifying, and I’m sure she is, screaming at the top of her lungs in German like that. Having watched a little curling (more than a little, I guess) over the past few days, I have become mesmerized by the game. The gliding, the sliding, the gentle clink-clink-clink of the stones. I’m in.
The best part? I don’t have to get in shape to do it, and I can compete until I’m 50 (or older). I think I can do it. First step: Find out who to compete for. See, the US is an established curling “powerhouse”, so I need to find a country that doesn’t have that curling prowess. On the other hand, I need to find a country with the means to get me to the Olympics. After about 13 minutes of thought, I have figured it out.
So, sorry America, but I am now Ryan Henning, curler for the Spanish national team. Viva Espana!
