Si son como yo, cuando están viendo el curling en las Olimpiadas de Invierno, acaban teniendo mas dudas que respuestas. Las Olimpiadas de Beijing 2022 no son la excepción.

Aunque muchos dicen que el curling es similar al “shuffleboard”, desde la perspectiva de alguien que juega en una liga de shuffleboard de forma recreacional, les puedo decir con confianza que el juego parece ser bastante diferente.

Para mí, una de las diferencias más obvias es esa condenada piedra . Es hermosa, ¿no? Para mi es totalmente desconcertante, pero de todos modos, decidí que quería saber todo lo posible de las competencias varoniles y femeniles en los Juegos Olímpicos de Beijing 2022.

Así que después de pasar un tiempo investigando y aprendiendo y estudiando, aquí les comparto los detalles mas interesantes de la piedra de curling.

Beijing Olympics: 6 wild things you need to know about the curling stone

If you are anything like us, when you are watching curling at the Winter Olympics, you find yourself having more questions than answers. 

If you are anything like me, when you are watching curling at the Winter Olympics, you find yourself having more questions than answers. The 2022 Beijing Olympics are no different.

Although many people say that curling is pretty similar to shuffleboard, from the perspective of someone who plays in a recreational shuffleboard league, I can confidently tell you the game seems awfully different.

For me, one of the most obvious differences is that dang stone. It’s gorgeous, isn’t it? I find that it is absolutely mystifying, anyway, and I wanted to know everything I possibly could with the men’s and women’s team competitions at the 2022 Beijing Games already underway.

So after spending some time researching and learning and studying them, here are some of the most interesting takeaways about the curling stone.

Matt Hamilton is definitely the most fly athlete at the Winter Olympics with these amazing sneakers

Matt Hamilton is the coolest, y’all.

Anything can happen in the sneaker world, man. I’ve seen hyped Jordans turn into golf shoes. I’ve seen hiking shoes built with whistles. I’ve seen sneakers turned into wedges.

But I don’t think I’ve ever seen an SB Dunk turned into a curling sneaker. Not until Matt Hamilton pulled out the “What The” Paul Rodriguez joints in these winter games.

For those of you who are out of the loop, this is a skateboarding shoe. Paul Rodriguez is one of Nike Skateboarding’s premier athletes. This Dunk serves as an ode to his career and the many sneakers he’s worn through the years. It combines them all into one, which is where the “What The” name comes from with all the colors.

It was one of the coolest shoes to come out in 2021. And here Matt Hamilton is, curling in it. This is so dope, y’all

First of all, I’m insanely jealous that he has these. It is SUCH an amazing shoe, man. The details. The history. It’s all just *chef’s kiss*. Second, to actually curl in them he had to insert Teflon into the soles. It’s pretty cool. You can turn literally any shoe into a curler.

Here Hamilton is in basketball shoes — the PG 4’s specifically. Just curling. Vibing. It’s so cool.

This dude is definitely the most fly person in the Beijing Games right now. The internet is loving it.

7 questions with Team USA Winter Olympians, including what winter sport they’d be terrified to try

Get to know some of Team USA’s athletes at the Beijing Olympics a little better with these fun and quirky questions.

Every four years, the spotlight shines brightly on Winter Olympians, as they become the sports world’s focus for a few weeks.

So ahead of the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing, For The Win asked several Team USA athletes from different Winter Olympic sports the same questions to help fans get to know them a little better.

Talking to figure skaters Karen Chen and Mariah Bell, freestyle skiers Winter Vinecki and Colby Stevenson, curler Tabitha Peterson, speedskater Erin Jackson and biathlete Jake Brown, we asked about how they train, what they eat and what other winter sports they’d want to try (or be terrified of attempting).

These answers have been condensed and edited for clarity.
