What a crazy sport. I especially liked the penalty loop they had to sadly ski if they missed a shot. Dana started explaining curling to me, and I like it a lot more now. For example, by sweeping in front of the little do-hickey, they are actually pressing really hard and melting the ice to make it slide faster. Then, when it goes past the middle of the "button," or target, the other team can try to sweep in front of it and make it keep sliding out of the target area. I liked it a lot more once I learned those two things. I, too, LOVED watching the biathlon! What a crazy sport. I especially liked the penalty loop they had to sadly ski if they missed a shot.
