So you managed to get through the web to get tickets. We have friends where he took 3-4 hrs. of trying to order Olympic tickets online. He was lucky..got men's hockey gold (I think) final tickets and speed skating (can't remember if it was men's or women's). They are both cyclists.
They knew someone else who tried for 6 hrs. Unsuccessful on that day.
Maybe curling will become more popular ...later like snowshoeing in the mountains or deep snow, where people realize the skill and effort and has now become popular for many more people. But boning up on lunging exercises, etc. first.
Or like table tennis (that seems to be less high status / cool in North America)...where one can get whipped by champions who are experienced. A brother to Canada's national champion a few years ago..played with a bunch of us weekly. It was fast, nimble playing.. hardly saw the freakin' ball whizzing back and forth.Of course he had his brother to practice with.
