American curling champion Tabitha Peterson has heard it all: Anyone can curl. My grandmother can curl. The Swiffer sport. Housekeeping comes to the Winter Games, Karen Heller reports on washingtonpost.com.

“Everyone thinks they can go to the Olympics in curling because they think it’s so easy,” she says, shaking her ponytail. She’s sitting in a nearly empty banquet room in a western Ontario ice arena, dressed in gym clothes, which would be curling attire, Heller wrote.

Peterson, 28, is heading to the Olympics for the first time after playing for almost two decades, because that’s how long it takes to make curling look easy, she added.
