I may have underestimated USA/Peterson. They’re playing very well against Sweden here. Thiesse just removed four rocks with two stones

My favorite example of this was our Thursday league championsip a few years ago which featured opposing skips of age 87 and 17
Same. Also, because of my club's youth curling program, teenagers are also common opponents and part of the social groups.

I absolutely love curling as a sport that challenges me mentally and physically, but what really draws me is the social connection of a team, a league, and a club. As the OP notes in a comment, our league has an age range from early 20s to 76 years old. And everyone socializes together. It’s lovely.
This is a wonderful column about the vital function of the curling club as a social connection

As attention focuses on the Games in Italy, we ought to look beyond the podium to social connections made at our local arenas.

Any time my partner would mention a job opening that appealed to him in another city, I would say, “okay, but is there a curling club there?”
Not because I am an awesome curler, but because it provides an instant social circle.

The Olympics are one of the things that draws new people to curling. The social connections are why they stay. My wife and I kept traveling to our old club after we moved across the city because we adored our teammates so much.

It can't be overstated what an incredible third space curling clubs are. You don't even need to fork often or at all to be a big part of it!

Once again on TV it was said that all curling stones come from one place in the world (Ailsa Craig). That's misleading! It is two places, the second one being Trefor, Wales.
All Olympic stones come from Scotland, but many North American club stones are Trefor w/ blue hone (Ailsa) inserts

Let's talk about LSD in curling (sits in a chair backwards)
the Last Stone Draw is a pre-game ritual where each team throws two draws to the button (one per turn)
the team with the lowest total (closest to the center) gets hammer (last rock) in the first end
