I think you are mistaking. It originated from the land of skirt wearing men.

 

It was Scotts who emigrated from the Ukraine, right?

 

They wear skirts... I think they were banished.

 

So cross dressing Ukrainian emigrants who curled had a big influence on Scotland.

 

They were early russians.

 

I love curling haha. I thought the cross country skiing nordic combined event was retarded. Who chooses to ski uphill? And the skiing event where they carry rifles on their backs, stop and shoot targets, and then continue to ski is retarded.

 

It's actually quite practical... just ask the Finns who won a war like that against a country 100 times their size.
