CURLING!!!

It's the coolest Winter Olympic sport for reasons that I still don't understand.
By Jeremy Conlin (@jeremy_conlin)

Every four years, I record every single televised curling match. Why do I do this? I don't know. I always forget the rules and how scoring works until I watch two full matches, remain hopelessly confused, and then look up the scoring rules online.

(Related aside - the Wikipedia page for Curling never actually says how to score each end, only saying "points are scored for the stones resting closest to the center of the house at the conclusion of each end," which technically isn't 100 percent accurate. It's almost like they don't want us to know the real rules)
