Sweeping will actually cause the rock to curl less, not more but good analysis, I should try watching the NBC coverage of the olympics, but I don't always like the American view of things ;-)
Thanks...and thanks for letting me know about the effect of the sweeping also! I know it's on in Canada like every week; I would watch from time to time if I could. I think the analysts that NBC has know what they are talking about. Fred Roggin is awful, though...he talks about random stuff during the match and does some interviews. His hair is a total mess; it looks like he's doing a telethon or something.
