Women's World Curling Championships sells 34 tickets
That is not a typo. That is the paid attendance for the whole round robin part of the tournament - which is a 12 team round robin spread over 14 draws over an entire week.
Okay I realize I am setting up my favorite sport (although I prefer men's over womens by a longshot but still, curling in general) for some bashing. I'm lobbing a big ole softball right down the middle. But 34 tickets? 34? It seemed noteworthy. There is some humor there.
I am seriously surprised there were not more tickets sold just to traveling Canadians. But apparently not.
The sport has obviously not caught on in Korea which is hosting. Last year's event held in Canada drew over 70K.
