Curling is a strange, but exciting sport played on ice. Many people say it comes from Scotland. Today, it’s popular around the world and it’s also an Olympic sport. In a curling match there are always two teams and usually four players in each team, but sometimes there are only two. A player in each team throws a stone on the ice. The stone is called the ‘rock’ and it’s heavy. The other players try to send the ‘rock’ on the ‘house’, the circle on the ice. They win many points when it stops on the small circle. The players use sticks on the ice called ‘brooms’ to move the ‘rock’. They wear special shoes, not skates. It isn’t an easy sport. Both men and women play it. Canada, Sweden and China have got very good curling teams.
