From the rules to equipment and more, here is what you need to know about curling at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
Two teams of four players each look to outscore one another by pushing a roughly 42-pound stone on a sheet of ice measuring 46 meters long and five meters wide .Each player delivers two stones for a total of eight per team in each end. The order of delivery is predetermined, starting with the lead , the second , the third and the skip .
At the center of the house is what's referred to either as the button or tee, which is what players looking to score are attempting to place the rock closest to. The last stone thrown in an end is called the"hammer." The team that fails to score in an end gets the advantage of having the hammer in the following end.The most crucial is the curling stone that gives the sport its name.
Curling was developed in the 16th Century in Scotland, the Netherlands and possibly Belgium. The first recorded match took place around 1541 when John Sclater, a Scottish monk from the Paisley Abbey, challenged Gavin Hamilton, the lay governor of the abbey.
