We’re just days from the start of the Olympics and barely a week from the first curling in Vancouver. It’s a very exciting team for John and his teammates — after the years of work and preparation, it’s the reward. Competing in the Olympics must be an amazing thrill for any athlete.

Talk to the curling oddsmakers and they’ll tell you the two favorites on the men’s side are Canada and Great Britain. Unsurprisingly, these two rinks are also probably the fittest groups on the ice. This week, there was another article on fitness and its importance in curling.

Finally, if you’re at the Olympics and you want to pick up a copy of Fit to Curl, it will be available at the Goldline booth at the Vancouver Curling Club during the Games.
