I AGREE WITH THIS BLOG: TRY CURLING! (OR FENCING!)
Four years ago my wife thought I was obsessed with a new idea. She was right. I watched every curling match I could. and for the first time, the USA won a medal (The men’s bronze) Alas, Richmond does not have a curling club! So, I’ve never tried it. But it looks great and I leave you with this blog entry from Fourth Place Medal. Curling in growing in popularity in the US.
For a curling club near you, go to USA Curling’s site.
Another sport that swept the nation is fencing. Here is the club in my hometown – Mechanicsville Fencing Academy. Unlike curling, I have tried fencing on rare occasions. The first three medals won in 2008 at Beijing were the sweep in the women’s sabre. This was the greatest American sports moment since the Miracle on Ice in 1980. I am sorry they did not end up on a cereal box!
Go to this site for a local fencing club neat you!
