Curling

[Hopkirk]

Why do the women and men have to compete separately?

I can't see why men should have any advantage.

[berniecuddles]

good question cant see any advantages at all why they couldn't play each other

[Baldric]

I would have thought the women had the advantage;
more practice at sweeping!

[albaqwerty]

maybe that's the way it's always been?
Do the men have heavier stones?
It doesn't seem to be about weight issues and strength.

I wonder if there are any curlers on AB?

[albaqwerty]

oooh, Balders!!

provocative :-D

[berniecuddles]

The commentator was just saying that men can sweep harder and throw (or whatever they call it) the stone harder to take out the opposition's stones.
