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!!
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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"
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 is so profoundly lame that this TH-cam channel and NBC Sports TH-cam 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.
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 TH-cam 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 TH-cam site if they didn't have a way to your credit card.
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.
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....
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.
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.
.... 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

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
You’re not weird.
Thanks for the instructive video
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
This is hillarious. I hope he will host the summer olympic burning questions

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?
@@DeadlyDanDaMan not faster just the other two
all I hear is... " Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
Thanks
They're not ordinary brooms?
Sooo... you could fly on them, Harry Potter style?
yes
But the sweepers scream too?

It’s an extreme contact sport
Someone out there besides me that actually finds this interesting? Don't call me boring, please.
curling is my favourite sport to watch!
This guy is from football republic
GlentheChelseafan yeah
It’s like bowling
The "die" part tickled me 😂
I rather say it's carrom on ice
The center or bullseye is called the button, not the bottom! LoL
Paola M he did say button. They wrote bottom
OH MY GAWD! It's the guy who does Every Premier League Team in 90 seconds guy!
Now i know that the one yelling doesn't actually cheer for the stone
nice to know there's a British Jack Black
Reaper loves this game
The sound waves from your voice push that thing farther or what?
Loydd Griffith used to play for hashtag united
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.
Such a weird sport...
curling is fun
This would be a lot better if you edited out his stupid jokes.
Not everything has to be funny.
Stefan Frunza ikr
you forgot to include "Yeongmi" 영미???
Is this in my recommendations because the US won gold for the first time in Curling?
Cadê a tradução?
What does youngmi means?
shes a player of the korean olympic team.
They could put they're sweeping talent to Better use by starting a cleaning company.
"they are"

please have professionalism in explanation videos. It's hard to follow when explained while pretending to be a weakling.
Najim Islam Bahhahhahah lmaoooo

LLOYD GRIFFITHS?????????????????????? WUT???
This is most spooky and silly game in Olympic ever seen.
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
Should've included PyeongChang's famous YOUNGMIIIIIII!!!!!!!
Do you have the clip?
It's like shufflepuck or bocce/petantque on ice.
A fiendish thingie!
shouldn't they scream in different languages ?
Jack Black needn't worry.
is this an actual sport?
BlueBell NO
yup, its called curling :)
Ok
"IM Soo BOREdddUHHh"

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.
