Curling
Every four years, we are captivated by the remarkable athletes who compete at the Olympics. But while most Olympic events inspire a sort of awe because of their athleticism, curling feels different. It feels accessible, something that anyone could do, even if you’ve been drinking. From its medieval origins on the frozen marshes of Scotland to its spread across the globe through centuries of migration, curling has built a rich, storied history. Learn more about curling and how pushing rocks on ice became an Olympic sport on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
