Interesting Fact - Curling - Winter Olympic Fact
The world's first indoor curling match, on artificial ice, took place in Manchester, in 1877. ( Unfortunately the rink closed soon after the match was played. Curling made its Olympic debut in Chamonix in 1924, but it didn't become a permanent Winter Olympics sport until Nagano in 1998 . The UK has gone a bit nuts over curling, as we have won a medal, and should win another later today. After these Olympics I doubt we will hear of it again for 4 years.)
