I still dont know how this sport made it to the olympics but i wanna play this in the Olympics once 🤣

[@Goofyboy2006]

It requires skills, strategy, team work and fitness. More than we can say about 3/4 of the "sports" at the Olympics. If you've played before, you already know that. If you haven't, try it before you judge it. Way harder than people think at all levels.

Thank you! With Olympics coming, I wanted to tell my students about this sport, instead I’ll just show this video!

[@cymru507]

The coin toss determines which team gets last rock in the first end and not which team goes first. Last rock or "hammer" can be a major factor in the scoring outcome of the end. Admittedly, the winner of the coin toss might elect to shoot first, but it's unlikely.
Also, rocks or 'stones' are delivered alternately and each player delivers two stones in the case of a four-man team (for a three-man team, the lead and second each throw three stones and the skip throws two.)

[@ntavares540]

[@Cxrinae]

@Motta Wang did your social credit score decrease, or are you having an on the spectrum meltdown?

[@CalmAsEverMUZIK]

I stumbled upon curling on TV, watched it for 20mins trying to get it, then someone scored and I was like... What? And now I'm here. Thank you.

[@LinkRocks]

I recorded a bunch of curling matches on my DVR so I figured I should know the basics before diving into them. Thanks for the quick, simple explanation.

[@alejandrosantana5693]

First off why? Secondly, did you ever watch them?

[@ash-ir7qe]

@@alejandrosantana5693you’ll never know now

[@EricSnyder_II]

In Canada, often instead of a coin toss, the two "skips" each throw one "stone"; the team which is closest to the "pin" or "button" goes last, or is awarded "the hammer".

[@amanil.9247]

Eric Snyder I thought it said throw ins another. 😂😂

Thanks for the information It seams like it would be fun to play!!!

[@sierravogelaar4909]

It is actually more difficult than it seems I have been curling for a long time and their is a lot of strategy involved and Also every sheet of ice is different so how hard you throw the rock changed every game.

[@ironicbobcat1]

Did jerry smith narrate this

[@Bentriverrusher]

If they want to make curling interesting enough to keep people watching for the half day that a game lasts, they have to pick it up a bit. I have suggested several rule changes that would keep people on the edge of their seats. One rule change: allow body checking. Second: Goalies. Third: much narrower seats.

[@Preivous]

You realize body checking wouldn’t do anything right?

[@Bentriverrusher]

@@Preivous : Violence is its own spectator reward.

[@Preivous]

@@Bentriverrusher okay you got me convinced lol

Should have body checking and attacking each other with sticks as they roll the rock down.

I'm always felt that this shouldn't be an Olympic games considering so many countries does not even play it. I believe sports like bowling, squash are more globally known than this game.
