Olympic Curlers Complain About People Watching Them

Olympic Curlers are used to competing in empty ice rinks. However, the Olympics are a completely different story. Many Curlers have asked Olympic officials to limit the amount of people in the arena to less than ten because that's what they're used to.

"Competing in an arena with more than just my boyfriend and parents in the stands is something brand new for me" said an Olympic Curler competing in her first Olympics. "In between shots, the sounds of people talking to each other really throws off my game...literally."

Curlers are looking forward to non-Olympic events where nobody cares about curling. Even the small two sentence summaries at the bottom of the sports section in newspapers is way too much for them to handle. If they wanted to participate in a winter sport that people somewhat cared about, they would dediced to become bobsledders or ski jumpers when they were younger.
