Look - They did it again!

Paris curlers accomplish rare feat twice in a month!

It happened again! Twice in two weeks at the Paris Curling Club. One of the hardest things to do in curling is to score a perfect end - an 8-ender as they call it. Requiring a perfect mix of skill and luck, it is accomplished when one team scores points with all 8 of their rocks thrown. To put it into perspective - in amateur golf, the odds of a hole-in-one is estimated at roughly 12,000 to 1; but in amateur curling, the odds of an 8-ender are estimated to be as high as 120,000 to 1. It is so rare in fact, that in the 180-year history of the Paris Curling Club, there have only been 20 recorded 8-Enders - until now. Last Friday evening, one team made it 21. A big congrats goes to the team of Jamie & Michelle Gilles, and Bryan & Tara Maude on their perfect end! Their team photo will be added to the Club's 8-Ender Wall of Fame!
