Curling in the Present
- Curling was made an official sport in the Olympics after being a demonstration sport in the 1988 Calgary Olympics.
- Curling is done in more than 12 countries, excluding the birthplace of Scotland.
- There are curling clubs in all the states, but is most popular in Canada and the northeastern United States
- Curling clubs in Scotland still curl outside at least once a year when the lochs freeze over.
- It is relatively simple to get into curling, especially since clubs are always looking for new people to teach.
