What exactly is curling?

Question

I heard about it in the Olympics. What is it exactly? What is the point? Is it teams? Single players? Are their scores? Is it hard? Is it athletic? Do men and women play together or on seperate teams?

Answer 1

i think curling is that sport on track.... where u throw a heavy ball as far as u can

Answer 2

People who like to sweep a lot...they invented a sport where they sweep some kind of I don't know what on ice until it gets to where it should be....I'm sorry I find this sport so boring, some people told me it's actually fun to play, but watching people sweep, just makes me think I have to sweep my floor...

Answer 3

teams and you try to get the thing in the ring thats about all i know.....not really that hard all you have to do is judge the speed right and try to knock the other person out of the the ring.....try lookin it up on google and see what you get....

Answer 4

its singles or teams and they 'curl' a 'stone' which actually is a stone with a handle on it.  they slide it down an ice track to a target.  closest wins.

it is NOT athletic, there is some skill involved. it is played at the olympics. it can be multisex.  there are scores.  look it up on wikipedia.com it's a bit boring looking really, probably for older people.

Answer 5

haha, the only curling i know is the with a curling iron and that has nothing to do with the olympics

sorry

Answer 6

curling is a european(scottish i think) sport where you have a long rectangle of ice and 2 sets of rings called "houses". now the teams are made of the lead, second, third, and skip(the last to throw and also the captain). there are 8 stones per end(which is like an inning in baseball or a period in hockey or a quarter in lacrosse) and the idea is to get as many stones on the button(the centre of the "house") while knocking out the opposing teams' rocks. it is an olympic sport and is normally dominated by canada in my opinion

curling is when the people, usually buff men, take the hand-sized barbells and bring them up to their shoulder with one hand. it works your biceps.
