Wellcat started this Curling is Cool to bring attention to the addition of curling to the Olympic sports line-up.
The World Curling Federation describes the origin of curling thus:
"Paintings by a 16th-century Flemish Artist, Pieter Bruegel (1530-1569), portrayed an activity similar to curling played on frozen ponds.
The first written evidence appeared in Latin when, in 1540, John McQuhin, a notary in Paisley, Scotland, recorded in his protocol book a challenge between John Sclater, a monk in Paisley Abbey, and Gavin Hamilton, a representative of the Abbot.
The report indicated that Sclater threw a stone along the ice three times and asserted that he was ready for the agreed contest."
