Two Good Links from CBC

In the past, we have not been terribly positive about CBC coverage of curling events [see here or here].
But their website about curling at the Olympics has two articles of interest.

First, with regard to the recent discussion here on whether curling is a rich woman's sport, see this item about Rhona Martin, 2002 olympic gold medalist in curling from the UK, who is now living on welfare [Alan wrote about her last month on this blog].

Second, who won the first olympic gold medal in curling? Great Britain in 1924.
