You might be wondering... where are our Olympic curling previews?

Admit it. You just might be thinking: how can The Curling News, founded in 1957and world-reknowned for decades, possibly claim to be number one in terms of All Things Curling™ without publishing the ultimate Olympic curling primer?

We've got two answers for you.

First: if you don't read the actual hard-copy, print edition of The Curling News... you lose. As we have mentioned more than a few times before, the multitude of free content you see on our thousands of blog pages, on our explosive Twitter feed (with stuff added multiple times daily), our Facebook group page and so on is... exactly that: free content... and it's far from all that we have to offer.

For the complete package, you simply must read the newspaper. There is special, print-only, proprietary info in there. And the February 2010 issue comes with the Olympic curling primer you want.

Second: for the first time in our 53-year history, we have printed stories in a language other than English and French. Joining French in the very special February Olympic issue are team previews in the language of each and every competing nation!

Chinese. Danish. German, for both Germany and Switzerland. Japanese (click image to increase size). Norwegian. Swedish. And even Russian.

In celebration of the Vancouver 2010 curling event – in celebration of international curling's greatest moment – we now present you with the online version of these international language previews. Simply head to the homepage of our website and click on the special banner indicating Olympic Previews in 9 Languages.

However, if you want to read these previews in English, plus read our previews on teams Canada, Great Britain and the United States, you'll just have to grab a copy of The Curling News.

And we invite you to click here.

On with the Games!
