During my A to Be Worldtour, I made a very special stop in Buenos Aires, the vibrant capital of Argentina — a country known for its passion, music, and, of course, football. But this time, it wasn’t about the ball. It was all about the curling rock.
A New Curling Federation in South America
What brought me to Buenos Aires was an exciting milestone: the foundation of the Argentine Curling Federation. A small but highly motivated group of enthusiasts has set out to make curling more popular across South America — and their passion is truly inspiring.

The federation is already planning to build a professional curling arena in Buenos Aires, the first of its kind in Argentina. During my training sessions, I could immediately feel the team’s energy and determination — a perfect blend of curiosity, teamwork, and love for the game.
Curling with Argentine Warmth
I was deeply impressed by the kindness and openness of the people, especially the curlers. After an intense training session, we shared laughter, good conversation, and of course, some traditional mate. The enthusiasm of the Argentine curling community is contagious — you can feel that something great is beginning to take shape here.
Buenos Aires – Architecture, Soul, and Maradona
Beyond the ice, Buenos Aires offers a one-of-a-kind atmosphere. The architecture of the city reminds me of Paris or Vienna — elegant facades, charming cafés, and a nostalgic European touch mixed with South American spirit.

And then something truly touching happened:
After my final training session, the team surprised me with a very special gift — a Maradona T-shirt from the 1994 World Cup. A symbol of passion, pride, and Argentine identity. I was genuinely moved and deeply grateful for this thoughtful gesture.

A Chapter Full of Inspiration
My time in Buenos Aires became one of the most memorable chapters of my A to Be Worldtour. It’s inspiring to see how a sport like curling — typically associated with Canada or Scandinavia — is finding its place in a football-loving nation, driven by enthusiasm, friendship, and pure heart.
I’m convinced that the Argentine curlers will achieve great things — and I’ll be more than happy to support their journey in the future.
Hasta pronto, Buenos Aires — and thank you for this unforgettable experience in Maradona Land! 🇦🇷🥌
