Curling
Curling is a game that is played in an ice arena divided into 4 sections. It is played in the Olympics since 1998 as well. Also in 2006 the sport Curling was introduced into the Para Olympics where athletes play in Wheel Chairs instead of standing up or crouching down.
The sport Curling was invented in the Medieval times in Scotland.
This game (Curling) is played with a different type of stone called the Granite Stone which weighs 19 kilograms. You sweep that along the ice using a stick which is named the Sweeper or the Broom. The aim of the game is to sweep the Granite stone across the iced floor, targeting a circle located at the end of the ice strip called "The House."
The game is played with two teams of four people. You start off with eight Granite stones per team. Points are scored by judging the closest Granite Stone to "The House" at the end of the game.
