curling is the olympique event where the compititors trow rocks.
They are the third player to throw rocks for the team. The "lead" throws the 1st and 2nd rocks, the "second" throws the 3rd and 4th rocks, the "third" throws the 5th and 6th rocks, and the "skip" throws the 7th and 8th rocks. The third is also sometimes called the "vice skip," because the third acts as skip while the skip is throwing his (or her) rocks.

Because it rocks.
The second shoots (or "throws") his team's 3rd and 4th rocks, and sweeps for all the other players' rocks. The second is usually asked to throw draws (rocks that are supposed to come to rest in the house to score points) after the lead throws guards (rocks in front of the house for other rocks to hide behind)

SOUTH KOREA ROCKS! JAPAN SOCKS!
The rocks stay put - they have been in the weather for thousands of years. For the most part, the rocks will be in the same place next year.
Roger throws rocks at Henry in Chapter 4 of "Lord of the Flies," on page 62 (Penguin Books edition, 2006).
lead second vice skip The lead throws the first two stones of an end. The second throws the 3rd and 4th stones. The vice skip (or "third") throws the 5th and 6th stones. The skip throws the last two stones. In addition, the skip acts as the team "captain" and strategist. The skip stands in the house (scoring) area and signals/tells the other players what shot should be thrown, and holds his broom where the shooter should aim. While the skip is shooting his/her stones, the vice holds the broom in the house, hence the term "vice skip."
