Women’s Curling is a relatively new and dramatically exciting sport. At first the older male members of the International Olympic Committee felt women on the ice in a fetal position might be felt as sexist. However, once they were told Women’s Curling would be merely an extension of the classic female sports Women’s Ironing and Women’s Vacuuming, they were won over.
The premier athlete of the sport is Olga Braun, a stout German woman, descendant of Eva Braun (who was known less of a curler, more of a proper of dictatorial idealogy). Olga commands the ice as a tigress commands Siegfried and Roy, only her outfits are not as quite ornate. A sweeper of the highest order, Olga sets a path like no one’s Elsa (her main European nemesis from the Austrian squad), bulking up on a diet of raw eggs, oysters and Little Debbie snack cakes.

Curling – the excitement was way too much for me – switched to C-Span.
