Curling
They have a beautiful costume.
The curling is a sport of precision practised on the
ice with stones in polite granite, cut and polished according to an international
template. The purpose is to place stones as close as possible to a target drawn
on the ice called “the house”.
The stone of
curling used for the game weighs 20 kg. The curling is a team game, practised
between two teams of 4 players each. When
a stone is thrown, there is a player who throws the stone and an other one at
the other end of the runway. Both remaining players follow the stone and assist
the trajectory by sweeping the ice before the stone arrives, according to the
directives of the skip. 
The surface of game of the curling, or “runway",
called normally " rink ", is established by an ice-cold surface of
42,07 m of length and a width going of 4,3 m to 4,75 m, prepared with big care
to be the flattest possible to allow "stones", to slide better
When both teams threw 8 stones each, the team which has the
stone the closer of the button wins a point for every stone which is closer
than the stone the closest to the opposite team. The winner is the team which
made the largest number of points after an even number bolancer
it is an official sport of Winter Olympics since the Winter
Olympics of 1998. Some consider that the curling was already an official
competition during the Winter Olympics of 1924 when a tournament had taken place.
In France, the curling is sometimes qualified
as on ice petanque.
It is a Great sport ! TRY
