What you miss if you don't watch sports

CBC.CA - Torino 2006 - Curling - Headlines: "Gushue, Nichols and Korab became the first Newfoundlanders to win a medal at the Winter Olympics since Dwayne Norris of St. John's won silver with Canada's men's hockey team at the 1994 Lillehammer Games. "

I had no idea. I just tripped over this excerpt from the Throne Speech in a news story referencing Newfoundland:

"A bold new attitude has taken hold in Newfoundland and Labrador – an attitude that considers a challenge an opportunity for triumph, not an omen of defeat," read Roberts.
"Nowhere has this new attitude manifested itself with more fire than on the icy rinks of Pinerolo, where our province's Olympians have spun granite rocks into gold."
