What happens to the curling stones after the Olympics are done?
My guess is that they will get sold or donated to some curling club after the Olympics (though the special light-up touch-sensitive handles will be given to the World Curling Federation for use in other international competitions, I would guess).
Do teams have to bring their own curling stones to the Olympics?
The curling stones used in the Olympics are provided by the Olympics to ensure equaility between the teams. In addition, each set of stones remained on the same sheet for the duration of the qualification rounds. This evened out any advantage or disadvantage of stone variation, as all teams played on all four sheets and with both sets of stones on each sheet during the early rounds of the competition. In medal round games, teams can select their 8 stones from any of the stones on any sheet of ice.
