Unfortunately, only the suspension was extended, although the Polish Curling Association stands that in 5 years curling will stop existing because all the ice rinks will have to be closed due to global warming and energy crisis. WCF wants to have really hard evidence, which means either the court decision about the liquidation of PCA or the opinion of the Polish NOC, which doesn't really seem to care :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
