Curling has been described as chess on ice - but with more shouting. What exactly are they saying and why does it play such a big role?

The score is actually mostly based on how often and how loudly the teammates shout. That's why they scream so much, they would lose otherwise.
Skip to 2:49 for the actual answer.
Thanks for the instructive video
.... and yet I'm still confused 😭
Tina Loye what are you confused about?
Spacedruid ... curling
Same, I don't understand the purpose of sweeping lmao
Luisa Carrera sweeping a stone has a few uses
So the first one is to help the stone go further. This is because as someone so sweeping thy are melting the top layer of ice, meaning that the thin layer of water will help the stone go a little further
It also helps keep the stone straight because the sweeper closer to the stone is sweeping against the curl of the stone. This means it prevents the stone from curling as easily
Sweeping is very important for every shot so it’s essential to the game
I hope that helped!!
Spacedruid It did help me a lot! Thank you!
20kg is 44 pounds. You could say that instead of trying to compare the weight to sushi for some asinine reason.
And I thought that since 1875 every civilized person uses SI units and dont need to convert 20 kg.
Or, your country and Burma can step up and stick with the rest of the civilization.
he has a bad sense of humour
Thanks
Watch this on NBC sports during curling Norway versus South Korea and it seems Norwegian is fairly understandable when shouting during curling unliked Korean language South Korean version but different if it's north korean version was used in curling
It’s an extreme contact sport
This is hillarious. I hope he will host the summer olympic burning questions
The "die" part tickled me 😂
Rich countries can put any sport in the Olympics for more medals
I just played curling for the first time a few weeks ago. While rugby, squash are rejected year after year, this sport, where 3 or 4 countries even bother with is in the Olympics.
O K that said, Rugby Sevens will be at Tokyo 2020. While not 15s, it’s still a good start.
There was a rugby at rio 2016 what do you mean
Are you implying that Scotland and Canada are rich??? Because they really aren't.
More countries play curling than cross country skiing ;) noone says cross country skiing has to go out of the olympics
Instead just show a comparision. Two balls or whatever you call it going the same speed. One is with sweep and the other without. I want to see what effect the sweeping has.
Sweeping makes the stone go faster and travel farther and straighter.
DeadlyDanDaMan I know how physics work but that’s not the case here. They sweep to make the surface even not to make it faster. Like you said ”straighter”. In that case why wouldn’t just the guy who ”rolls” the stone use more power?
Sweeping in curling is done for two reasons, to increase the curl of a rock and to increase the distance traveled by the rock. Sweeping does not make the rock travel straighter or faster. The difference of a curl and distance traveled between a swept and an unswept rock can be up to 20% if I'm not incorrect. I saw a small clip on it a while ago so my memory for the numbers might be wrong. But suffice to say, sweeping can dramatically change the curl of a rock and how far it goes. It can be the difference between a successful throw or a horrible miss. You won't see curlers sweeping a rock that's meant to travel straight and fast since that's usually traveling too fast for them to keep up and that rock doesn't need to curl. A rock that is thrown straight and fast is called a takeout rock. Those rocks usually don't stay in play themselves because they fly out of the target area and take everything it hits out with them.
If you don't know what I mean by curl, curl refers to how much of a curved path a rock takes. The more curl, the more curved the path is. The less curl, the more straight the path is. The challenge of curling comes from throwing rocks with just the right amount of curl and weight behind them to take out your opponent's rocks while placing your own rocks in strategic positions to score as many points as possible while making it difficult for your opponent to take out your rocks.
@@DeadlyDanDaMan not faster just the other two
all I hear is... " Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
This guy is from football republic
GlentheChelseafan yeah
The center or bullseye is called the button, not the bottom! LoL
Paola M he did say button. They wrote bottom
But the sweepers scream too?
Reaper loves this game
It’s like bowling
They're not ordinary brooms?
Sooo... you could fly on them, Harry Potter style?
yes
Loydd Griffith used to play for hashtag united
looks fun
Instead of Die why didn't they just used the word stop? Is there a story behind it? Lol
The narrator doesn't know what he's talking about. Nobody calls out Die as a sweeping instruction. It's more of a prayer to the curling gods when a rock has been thrown too hard and it looks like the rock is going to slide too far.
The sound waves from your voice push that thing farther or what?
Someone out there besides me that actually finds this interesting? Don't call me boring, please.
curling is my favourite sport to watch!
you forgot to include "Yeongmi" 영미???
OH MY GAWD! It's the guy who does Every Premier League Team in 90 seconds guy!
it's possible to present information without the lame attempts at humor. you do both information and humor injustice when you don't know how to properly mix them.
It's like shufflepuck or bocce/petantque on ice.
This would be a lot better if you edited out his stupid jokes.
Not everything has to be funny.
Stefan Frunza ikr
curling is fun
Ok
Fus Ro Dah!
Whoooooah!
Oops!
Cadê a tradução?
shouldn't they scream in different languages ?
What does youngmi means?
shes a player of the korean olympic team.
LLOYD GRIFFITHS?????????????????????? WUT???
A fiendish thingie!
Such a weird sport...
I've never played Curling, but I did watch it a lot of the Olympic games in the past decade. It seems to me that they all try really hard the entire game, but whoever gets the last shot at the end seems to win the set. I could be wrong, but that's just what i've noticed from my limited viewing experience.
Nope
@@Mjl449 but it's a huge opportunity right?
Which ever team is closest to the centre circle gets the points, but only the rocks before the opponent’s rocks. It’s really hard to explain. If your team gets the last shot than you do certainly have an advantage, but only if your rock gets closer to the centre than all of the opponent’s rocks.
Yes. Having last rock in an end (an end is equivalent to an inning in baseball and a game consists of either 8 or 10 ends) is a big advantage. You generally want to score two or more points in any end where you have last rock.
Last rock (also known as the hammer) in the first end of a game is determined either by a coin toss or by having each team throw one stone - whoever lands closest to the button wins last rock. For subsequent ends, last rock is awarded to the team that was scored against. For example, if I score two points in the first end you will have hammer in the second end. If you score one point in the second end I get hammer in the third. If you score another point in the third (scoring points without last rock is called stealing) I retain last rock in the 4th. If nobody scores a point in the 4th, I still keep the hammer in the 5th.
Because having the hammer is such a big advantage, you'll often see teams intentionally score zero points (blank end) in order to keep last rock in the next end..... Clear as mud??
Hi Willy the game i divided into ends (Ten Ends for Olympic and World Championships) with 16 stones or rocks thrown (alternating between each team in an end) and yes the last stone thrown in each end is important and so the strategy is to have" Last stone advantage" or in curling speak "The Hammer"
Should've included PyeongChang's famous YOUNGMIIIIIII!!!!!!!
Do you have the clip?
Now i know that the one yelling doesn't actually cheer for the stone
제목엔 한글이 있는데 자막이 없네요 한글자막 부탁드립니다
나루루 This means to please include Korean subtitles :) thanks!
nice to know there's a British Jack Black
I rather say it's carrom on ice
This is most spooky and silly game in Olympic ever seen.
sports that are actully risky are worth seeing for money. Anyone can one day try this, but skiing and snowboarding take courage just to try and extremly hard work to get better at with a chance to ruin your body at every jump.
They could put they're sweeping talent to Better use by starting a cleaning company.
"they are"
is this an actual sport?
BlueBell NO
yup, its called curling :)
Yep. Yep.YEAH. WOAAAAH
Is this in my recommendations because the US won gold for the first time in Curling?
YEONGMI YEONGMI YAAAAA!!
なるほどー 少ししかわかりません😅
Jack Black needn't worry.
What is that🤔
Go team Kim Go team Kim!!!!
영미!!영미!!!
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRD!!!
Lmao
please have professionalism in explanation videos. It's hard to follow when explained while pretending to be a weakling.
Najim Islam Bahhahhahah lmaoooo
"IM Soo BOREdddUHHh"
I'm only interested in curling because one of the Korean female players is really pretty.
skip of the korean women's olympic team?
It is so profoundly lame that this RUclips channel and NBC Sports RUclips channel does not cover the Olympic curling events but also feed these inane clips about the, "rules" of curling and the cultural intricacies of the sport, just hoping their audiences are just as ignorant of the sport as they are.NBC is doing a horrible job of covering this year's Olympics.
To be fair, NBC always does a horrible job of covering the Olympics any year.
SocialAwkwardGuy That's not only fair but generous. They should be prevented from getting the contract.
Thomas Bias NBC was one of a few US channels that bothered bidding for it
Riker Wilson They rotate the Olympics among the big three. NBC is making more money than just the commercial payoff, in order to view the events, you have to pay extra to gain access to viewing them when they have a RUclips channel to cut through that. They've already been paid, they're squeezing extra.
Aaaal ! My phone won't play those clips. I've tried. I don't have a credit card on an online account. No comcast account and they won't allow access. I'd get tens of notifications but the clips wouldn't play. They should post them on this RUclips site if they didn't have a way to your credit card.
영미~^^
Pongan subtitulos compas >:v
Yo
Pierdzieli głupoty
CANADIANS.....its do or DIE.....😂😂😂😂like....spartans....its do or DIE ....😂😂😂
Hello, traveler from the past. Umm...bad news aboot Canada.
T___________T Don't remind us!!!
this is fun hahahahahahahhahahahaha
funny game
No! Those explanations are wrong.
The reason why they shout is when they shout, the sound wave helps the stone to change speed or direction. So when they shout very loudly from the right side, the stone will change its direction to the left....
i cant tell if you are joking or not lol
2nd comment
if you can play it in your driveway its not an olympic sport
You can play all sort of running sports in your driveway tho, and those are the oldest olympics sports.
not down hill skiing
you could have a hill driveway.
then basketball and football arent?
what about basketball
I hate humor/comedy in sport clips
Curling seems so funny
when neanderthal simple games got exaggerated..
Okay got it. Curling game is there in Olympics to ensure guaranteed gold medals to some countries. Otherwise its not economical at all. I would rather play chess to save some 20kg useless stones.
How is this a sport again?
...still boring :)
This sport is even stupider than my life
your life must be pretty great then
fencing is the best
borrrrring
Just stop...just stop with your humor it's not funny
This sport is as boring as golf. Which means it's *_EXTREMELY_* boring.
And so many real sports are waiting to get into Olympics losing to this stuff.
Curling isn't a sport
Curling is not a sport. Fight me.
