      I played Junior curling in Northern Ontario decades ago. We made it to the finals to represent at the Nationals. There is more to this game than meets the eye. The ice conditions dictate how much "broom" you have to give. That means where you place the broom for the shooters to aim at. It also depends on how fast you are throwing the rock. The ice conditions often change as the game progresses as well. I played at this one club where frost would force the people playing the first draw of the evening to throw "peel" weight in order to get the rocks into the house!! After about 2-3 ends the temperature would rise due to the people on the ice and it would be normal conditions the rest of the night. yeah these guys make shots that the average curler would have to attempt several times to even get close to these results.

      Golf isn’t a sport. There is no direct contact with an opponent. Curling is a sport because there is direct contact. The stones are an extension of the player and can be hit by the other player. In golf this doesn’t count and the ball gets dropped.

    Not many people on the Internet realize how much skill this game requires.
    Everyone thinks the sweepers are doing all the work, mostly because they get all the screen time. In truth, the sweepers make the stone go a little faster and have some influence on the stone's path, maybe 15% of the game. However, the person throwing the stone has to line it up just right, or no sweeper can make a remotely passable (much less actually good) shot out of it. Every time I play, the only time a stone doesn't do what its supposed to is because of a bad throw. It takes skill to throw a good shot.
    Then there's the skip (the person holding the broom at the far side), who has to precisely tell the thrower exactly where to aim, and how hard to throw the stone. He/she also has to know when exactly the sweepers have to sweep, and he/she has to effectively communicate this to the sweepers. These precision shots in this video are a result of careful planning and very precise execution, not some stroke of luck. Players who have years invested in this sport often can't do this well.
    I see why some uninformed people might think that it's not hard to play curling, but trying to throw just once WILL humble you, I would put money on it.

      Team only scores at end of round. Only the team with their stone nearest to the center gets score. They also count each matching stone that is closest for more points as long as the opposing color isn't between them. That's why you'll see them knocking the opponents stone away even if they are already on the bull.

    Kept worrying the sweepers were going to trip and fall. Wonder how this could work in golf?

    What are the stones made of?

    Esporte interessante. Alguns princípios de sinuca, usa rochas em formato de panela de pressão com alças de ferro de passar. E aparentemente, os gritos ajudam a conduzir as rochas... Obrigado youtube, boa distração em tempos de quarentena.
