[Olympics] Curling (Snow Valley.WS)

Title: [Olympics] Curling

Andrew - April 24, 2005 08:18 PM (GMT)

Curling was officially made an Olympic sport for the 1998 games in Nagano but the sport has a long history as an exhibition sport in the games. It was included in the program of the first Winter Olympics back in 1924 and was later included in the 1932 games. It returned again in 1988, in Canada, where the sport is very popular and continued in 1992. Lillehammer 1994 didn't include a curling tournament.
The early years did not include a Women's event. 1988 onwards did though.

Note: italics depict team captain.
