Deliver the Rock

Ever since its introduction as an Olympic sport in 1998, curling has been the attention of a lot of jokes. After all the play incorporates a broom and the players can hardly be recognized as "athletes". By my view of the game, it would be possible to play while taking sips from your flask of schnapps. Nonetheless there are people passionate about it. In front of my "office" -- The Press Lounge, there is a curling "sheet". A few days ago there was a media frenzy as Stefania Belmondo, an Italian Olympian who lit the cauldron last week, came out for a demonstration. Also Robin Roberts of ABC-TV was out earlier in the week. Check out the pics.
