I also split my pants once in the middle of the curling club. That was slightly humourous. Don't wear jeans on the ice...
The most similar part is when you have rocks contact other rocks already in play. Depending on what spin is on the rock, and how you contact them, you can do caroms and combinations.

I think the proper action would not be to add pool to the Olympics, but to remove one hell of a lot of dumb events. I never remember reading about the ancient Greeks twirling ribbons and dancing with hoola-hoops.
Have to disagree with that one...jimmy-leggs said:

Plus you can be obese while playing pro level. That doesn't help either.

I agree. Trampoline is a stupid event for the Olympics.
Everybody knows that it is just the introductory when starting training for the Aerials, a real Winter Olympics event.:grin: :grin: :grin:
As for pool needing more respect, need does not enter into the equation.
Has pool earned respect?
If the answer is no .......
