Detailed explanation-1: -Curling is a team sport, played on ice, where two teams take it in turns to slide stones made of granite towards a target – known as a House. It is an Olympic and Paralympic winter sport with medal disciplines for Women’s, Men’s, Mixed Doubles and mixed Wheelchair teams.
Detailed explanation-2: -Curling Stone: Pictured here is a granite curling stone and a “broom” used to sweep the ice. Sweeping the ice in front of a moving curling stone influences both the speed and direction of the stone. Sweeping warms the ice and reduces friction, which helps the stone maintain its velocity and travel in a straighter path.
Detailed explanation-3: -The curling stone, or rock, is made of dense polished granite from Ailsa Craig, Scotland, and in the Olympics, each rock weighs 19.1 kg (44 lbs). The bottom of the stone is concave so that only the outside ring, called the running band, is in contact with the ice.
Detailed explanation-4: -Stones: Also known as rocks, curling stones are made of a rare, dense granite that is quarried on Scotland’s Ailsa Craig. The stones must weigh between 38 and 44 pounds.
