There's far more athleticism in curling than you seem to understand, ever try the sport? Bet you fall on your ass the first time you try and send a stone down the ice, hell I'll bet you fall on your ass trying to send every stone down the ice, as for sweeping, yep you'll probably end up cracking your head open there, because once again you'll be on the ice, and forget about actually getting a stone anywhere near the button, they'll all either be too hard or too soft. As Baraka said quite a bit of strategy involved, how do you think they can pull off taking out 3 and 4 rocks at a time? It's a sport, just because it isn't as exciting as baseball, which to me is like watching grass grow, doesn't mean it doesn't take skill and athleticism to do what they do.

If you want to go the baseball route, you can, but you'll fail pretty miserably. Almost as miserably as Canada failed against the US in hockey.

Meh, we'll see how things go in the medal round, it sure is like an American though to seem to think the mission is accomplished after one big win.
I wouldn't celebrate too soon, you guys are only in the quarters, still have to win that and a couple more, too soon to be popping the champagne just yet.
