Curling

Curling

Curling is a sport related to bowls, boules and shuffleboard. Two teams, each with four players, take turns sliding heavy, polished granite stones, also called rocks, across the ice curling sheet toward the house, a circular target marked on the ice.>

The path of the rock may be further influenced by two sweepers with brooms or brushes, who accompany it as it slides down the sheet and sweep the ice in front of the stone. A great deal of strategy and teamwork go into choosing the ideal path and placement of a stone for each situation, and the skills of the curlers determine the degree to which the stone will achieve the desired result. This gives curling its nickname of “chess on ice”.

Athlete Comments & Reviews

“You might compete against World Champions”

“Masters Games, you never know who the competition is going to be until you have a few races. Quite often they’re former Olympians or World Champions in their day. You get a very broad spectrum of athletes and their abilities over their lives which is a really good thing really.”

“I’m positive about life again!”

I’m really proud of myself I was able to get myself back into a place in sport where I was, and be positive about life again. At the age of 62 right now, I’m so blessed. Beyond, I mean, I get emotional.

“We love to see all the other sports as well!”

“We try and attend different sports depending on what’s going on and depending on what we are doing in terms of sightseeing.”
