'Harder than it looks:' Olympic fans try curling

"I watch it every year in the Olympics, and every year I think...'I could do that.' And it turns out, I cannot," said Cindy Martinez, laughing. "I tried really hard. It's harder than it looks."

Her friend agreed, having taken a painful tumble on the ice.

"I think my knees are going to be a little sore in the morning, but I think it's a great lesson in friction - or lack thereof," joked science teacher, Sarah McIntosh.

The event, called "Curling and Cocktails", was hosted by The Wharf, after proving popular during the last Winter Olympic Games in PyeongChang.
