What is curling?
When you ask people to explain curling, you will probably hear: Isn't that the sport with a broom and a stone that you have to slide on the ice?" Although this is partly natural, curling consists of much more than that.
Curling is a precision sport played on the ice or on the skating rink. The goal is to slide stones across the ice to a target area on the other side of the track. The stone is made of granite and has a special shape, where one side is flat and the other side is rounded. This allows them to twist while sliding over the ice, which is called the "curl".
The main objective from the start is to get the stones as close as possible to the center of the target area, while at the same time trying to displace the opponent's stones. Curling requires strategy, precision and teamwork, and is a sport that is practiced both recreationally and competitively.
