The sport of curling consists of four person teams taking turns sliding granite rocks across a sheet of carefully prepared ice. As the rock slides along, other team members sweep along its path to help guide the stone to the target area.
This week curling has been the most searched for Olympic winter sport. It seems that people hear about it and think “hey, I can do that, it’s like bowling or shuffleboard,” and if Homer Simpson can make it to the Olympics why can’t we?
Next you will need a curling stone, also called a rock in North America. They can weigh up to 44 pounds and have handles attached to the top. Finally you will also need a curling broom. In that past players used brooms similar to those used for household cleaning but today the brooms are more like brushes. You might also want to get some special teflon curling shoes, curling pants and gloves.
So how do you curl? Well first, you would need a sheet of ice that has been carefully prepared to be as flat and smooth as possible. A target or house has to be marked on each end of the sheet. The World Curling Federation defines the house as containing three concentric rings that vary in diameter. The rings are used to judge which stone is closer to the center.
This week, rowdy Canadian fans at a curling match made the news because they upset competitors who expect quiet, like in a game of golf. It seems that the sport has hit the mainstream with more people tuning into curling than ever before.
Today, February 26th you can catch the Women’s Bronze Medal Game at 9 A.M., and the Women’s Gold Medal Game at 3 P.M. Tomorrow, February 27th tune in for the Men’s Bronze Medal Game at 9 A.M., and the Men’s Gold Medal Game at 3 P.M.
Curling is getting a lot of newfound attention at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. On the February 14 episode of “The Simpsons”, Homer declared “pack your winter coat, we’re going to Canada’s warmest city,” as he and Marge joined USA’s Olympic curling team.
