Curling is a winter sport played on ice, where two teams of four players take turns sliding heavy, polished granite stones toward a circular target called the "house."
Players use brooms to sweep the ice in front of the stone to influence its speed and direction. The goal is to have stones closer to the center of the house than the opponent’s. Strategy, precision, and teamwork are key elements of the game.
Curling is often called "chess on ice" due to its tactical nature and is an official Olympic sport.
