I'm very curious [to know/about] who won the game.

Hello.


Could you please say which of the sentences below is correct?

1) I'm very curious who won the game.
2) I'm very curious to know who won the game.
3) I'm very curious about who won the game.
4) I'm very curious about knowing who won the game.

Is there any other natural way to convey this meaning (still using the word 'curious')?
