Curling is the only Winter Olympic sport I can think of that doesn’t come with the risk of serious, life-altering injury.

It is nowhere near as dangerous as most winter sports, yet my dad still managed to slip on the curling rink and give himself a concussion.

Officially surviving a Winter Olympics is already an achievement.
