It gives the Canadians a chance to hone in on their sweeping skills. I understand that this is Wayne Gretsky's Favorite sport, including Hockey. I switched channels when ever they showed it on TV during the Winter Olympics. W - A - Y TOO BORING!

Clare, I believe it was invented in Scotland. Its the broom and the little T-kettle looking device you may have seen on the Olympics. Similar to large shuffle board if your familiar with that. Good luck
