The friction from sweeping creates a tiny film of water on the ice that reduces the friction between the stone and the ice. The effects are that the stone travels both farther (up to 8 or 10 feet farther) and straighter ("curls less"). Whether one or both or neither of these effects are desired determines whether the team will sweep a stone.
Ice Melters Curling Club was created in 2003.
Curling & Ice Hockey
Curling is a Winter sport played on ice. The rock or Stone is hurled or bowled as players use a broom to sweep the ice in front of the stone as it slide across the ice.
The central concept of curling is sliding heavy stones down a long sheet of ice. It would be difficult to slide the stones on anything but ice.
Curling, as an Olympic ice sport, is the same word in English and in French.
Curling is played in at least 45 countries (you can find a list by researching the World Curling Federation on Wikipedia). However, it is most popular in Canada, the United States, and western Europe. In places where curling is popular, there are usually dedicated curling clubs that have ice only used for curling. Where it is less popular, curlers resort to sharing multi-purpose arena ice with hockey players and skaters. This presents a challenge, because curling ice must be prepared differently than hockey/skating ice.
The playing surface played on in a game of curling is ice . The ice playing surface is called a 'sheet' and is within a 'curling' rink. Ice will melt along with paint. Paint will be washed away with the colours.
It is called curling , the curling ROCK and you throw it at HOUSES the end of the curling rink
If you mean 'curling (your hair)': Are you curling tonight = Ensortijas anoche? If you mean the game of curling (on ice), there is no Spanish equivalent, so you'd have to say: Juegas a 'curling' anoche = Are you playing at 'curling' tonight?
