Jamaican women were also upset by a baton transfer. That was huge.
That is exactly what it was. That is what determined the race.

And you know what? These spectacular athletes are paid millions and can only perform when in top shape. So I would say yes, the teams can have these clauses.
If I remember well, Dennis Eckersley (MLB) had a clause in his contract regarding his alcohol use (mainly, he needed treatment and had to stay sober).

Lacrosse was Canada's only official national sport for over 100 years, until 1994.
Now, Lacrosse is Canada's official national SUMMER sport, while hockey is Canada's official national WINTER sport.

Curling is a wonderful sport - often described as 'chess on ice'... It's much more difficult than it looks on TV.
But it was never our national sport.

Although curling is most often associated with Canada, its origins are in Scotland.

It does look like a lot of fun, but a game that would take a lot of strategy. I would probably fall on my butt trying to do it. :lol:

Yes - most people do fall on their butt when they first try it. This happens mostly because they think it will be easy - because it looks so easy and smooth on TV. But they quickly realize that sliding out on ice while keeping your balance is not at all easy - let alone trying to aim a 'rock' in a particular direction and at a precise speed while sliding.
Not to mention that they're using muscles that they only discover exist once they try to slide!
