They could put in something more people are interested in like they don't have a catagorey for runing! Or rachetball! Why is this?

Well, handball and curling are Olympic sports with a huge following. If handball is understood as the Olympic discipline (indoor, 7 in a team, goals) and not the other sport which I found, to my utter amazement, some English speaking countries call handball.
My country (Romania) is a handball country, so are the Scandinavian countries, Spain, Hungary, Korea and others.
Curling enjoys a huge following, since it's been broadcast on Eurosport.
Once and for all: the world does not end in the US nor are the taste and preferences of Americans the only ones that count!

Curling's very popular outside of the US and in some areas close to Canada. You didn't have a problem with darts? I don't know the difference between handball and rachetball. The sports should be expanded though.

It's good to see another curling fan on here; a lot of people just complain about this being a category.

Because the person that put this up probably has not a single clue about sports and just did a websearch or went to ESPN to see what stories were about.

Whats hand ball?
Curling is actually big in Canada and Northern US.
Running is not really a sport.

Curling, handball, and darts, who the heck cares?
