Seth Stevenson, writing on Slate, gushes with admiration for the Sport of Kings:
Meanwhile, the United States-Japan women’s curling match was a treat. Down 6-1 halfway through the match (a huge deficit by curling standards), the U.S. team came back to win with a series of astounding shots. They snuck their stone through tiny openings between the Japanese rocks, curved it around into place, deftly bumped the Japanese stones out of the way, and so on until the game was won by a final score of 8-7. Said ESPN.com: “This is as dramatic as curling gets.” And nobody cried, and nobody wore sequins, and nobody made a secret agreement to hurt someone else’s feelings.
I should do the MTZ treatment on this.
