Curling is a game that is played in the Winter Olympics. It is played with to long sticks with a broom at the end of them and that is called a sweeping broom. You also use a curling stone that glides across the ice floor, the curling stone is made out of a granite stone. To play curling you have a team of four. On the ice at once there is three player and the fourth is a sub. The captain is know as the 'skip' and they make all the decions the other positions are called lead, second and third.
To play curling a player pushes the curling stone across the ice and the other two players use there sweeping brooms to sweep around the stone to make force so the curling stone will keep moving. The aim of this game is to see how far you can get the stone before it stops. Each player pushes the stone twice so they all alternate with the positions.
The next curling tournament is in the Winter Olympics which is going to be held in Fussen, Germany. New Zealand has a team and they were selected out of lots of curling teams around the world to play in the next Winter Olympics. There are eight olympic teams and New Zealand is one of them.
