What is "curling"?
Curling is a winter sport in which players slide relatively large, heavy stones made of smooth granite across an ice surface toward the circular target, commonly referred to as the house. Teams alternate pushing stones while teammates sweep across the ice with brooms to help reduce friction and to aid with the trajectory, speed, and direction of the stone. Above all, the object of the game is to get as many stones closer to the center of the target as possible than the opponent, if possible. Basically, curling is a game of strategy and teamwork, with players taking turns coming up with plans to score points while at the same time blocking their opponent's paths. Curling combines precision, coordination, and planning.
