The American men have won the Olympic gold medal in curling in a decisive upset of Sweden.
John Shuster skipped the United States to a 10-7 victory on Saturday for only the second curling medal in U.S. history. Shuster was part of the other one, too, as the lead thrower on Pete Fenson's bronze-medal team at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy.
The Americans received a good-luck call from actor Mr. T before the match. The King of Sweden was in attendance, as was U.S. presidential daughter Ivanka Trump.

It’s not athletics if one doesn’t break a sweat engaging in it.

Looks like it was made up by a bunch of drunks in a bar next to a frozen lake. One said “we need a winter sport that can compete with bowling” and it went on from there.

We are looking for a home/tabletop version.

A sport for both sexes:
Women are fascinated by the broom work and Men are attracted to the sitting down part...

I don’t know about you, but every swimmer I’ve ever known sweated while swimming; it’s just that the water of the pool countered that sweating (i.e. it cooled down the skin). Sweat is just moisture released by the body to cool it off (i.e., cool off the body). Take a swimmer’s temperature during the workout and you’ll find an elevated body temperature.

It's called shuffleboard. Popular bar game. You can get one on Amazon.
