  Speaker 1: Kristen found this great. So you've probably been on your
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: phone watching the Olympics and you see things and you
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: think to yourself, why is that happening? So you google
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: it or you chat gbt it. So these are what
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: people are asking the most about. For example, why do
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: ice skaters wear gloves? The normal reason is simply because well,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: you want to keep your hands warm, but to protect
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: their hands from falls, I would think yeah, or sometimes
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: they're even just part of the costume. But Google has
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: noticed that a lot of people are asking that question.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Why do ice skaters wear gloves? Why do speed skaters
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: wear glasses?
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Why do they cuppy?

  Speaker 1: thirty to thirty five miles per hour.

  Speaker 2: everybody lean like. It looks like it's all in the shoulders.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Correct, right, Well, it's mostly with their calves, shoulders and
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: by shifting your weight around, so you weren't wrong. The
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: sleds have handles, but they don't really steer. They're just
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to anchor yourself so you can make those tiny movements.
• 1:38

  Speaker 1: team scores each round. The closest stone to the center
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: gets a point. If you have the two closest stones.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: It's two points three closest stones three points, right, haven't.

• 3:11
  Speaker 2: crucial moments.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, the sweeping part looks busy, but other than that,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: it looks like they're kind of just chilling and thinking
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: about the next move.
