GANGNEUNG, South Korea | When Ann Chase and her husband were planning their trip to Pyeongchang for the Olympics, she set her sights on nabbing tickets to the most glamorous event of the Games: Figure skating. Her husband, however, had decidedly humbler ambitions. “He was like, ‘No, CURLING!’ And I was like, ‘OK, that’s like a $40 nap,'” Chase, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, said with a laugh before a recent curling match at the Gangneung Curling Centre. “But then you get excited about it, you start watching it on TV. And we were trying to learn the jargon and we’re like, ‘OK, this is actually kind of cool!'”
