Armenia expelled from World Curling Federation

The Armenian sports world was shattered today by the devastating news that the World Curling Federation (WCF) has expelled Armenia for its failure to pay membership fees for a “durable” period of time, the Armenian media reports.

According to Armsport.am, WCF swept out Armenia. Curling is a sport in which players slide “stones” resembling tea kettles across a sheet of ice towards a target area which is segmented into four rings, while teammates sweep the area in front. Curling has been an official winter Olympic sport since 1998. Armenia, which has never fielded a curling team, will now, alas, be struck from the roll call of the remaining 48 curling nations.
