At present, curling has developed into a global sport, including the World Curling Federation and other world organizations, and has become an official event of the Winter Olympics.
Curling is a sport that integrates fitness, entertainment and competition, and has high fitness and ornamental value. It is an elegant collective project, with movement in quietness and confrontation in elegance.
Curling was introduced to China on 1995, and Japanese and Canadian curling experts held training courses successively, and provided relevant equipment and technical data. Curling has developed rapidly in China in recent years. The curling event of the 10th National Winter Games was officially listed as a gold medal event from June 5438 to October 2003/KLOC-0. The State Sports General Administration and related institutions are also actively operating, preparing to join the World Curling Federation and strive to become members of the organization as soon as possible.
Curling is a round pot made of special stone, with a circumference of about 91.44cm, a height (bottom and top) of1.43cm, and a maximum weight (including handle and plug) of19.96kg.. The curling competition was held in a curling court with a length of 44.5m and a width of 4.75m.. There is a base camp at each end of the stadium. The red tangent tangent to the base camp is the bottom line, the line passing through the center of the base camp and parallel to the bottom line is the "D" line, followed by the forward throwing line (6.40m parallel to the bottom line).
Rubber treadmills are fixed at both ends of the field 3.66 meters away from the T-line. During the competition, athletes step on the treadmill and slide with pots. The pot must be thrown before reaching the proximal end and before reaching the area between the distal end and the bottom line. In order to increase the friction between the pot and the ice surface, water droplets should be sprayed evenly on the ice surface before the game to form potholes. In the competition, after throwing the pot, athletes can wipe the ice for curling to increase the sliding distance.
During the competition, there are 4 people in each team, and each player throws the pot twice in each game. After throwing the pot, athletes can wipe the ice for sports curling. The two sides played one-on-one matches in the order of first base, second base, third base and fourth base. Two teams * * * throw one game 16 pots. After throwing the last pot, the pot near the center of the base camp scored. General game play 10 innings, and the one who scores more wins. The competition of the Winter Games in October is determined to be eight innings.
