Curling From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search For other uses, see Curling (disambiguation) Curling is a team sport with similarities to bowls and bocce , played on a rectangular sheet of carefully prepared ice by two teams of four players each. Teams take turns sliding heavy, polished granite stones down the ice towards the target (which is called the house ). Two sweepers with brooms accompany each rock and use timing equipment and their best judgment along with direction from their other teammates to help direct the stones to their resting place. The complex nature of stone placement and shot selection has led some to refer to curling as " chess on ice". Curling is a game played on ice with granite stones; in this picture, four curling sheets are shown.

Some dislike her so much that despite their strong nationalistic spirit, they were cheering for China to beat Jones and Team Canada in the 2008 world championships. Is it her looks? Do her looks blind men to the faults that women tend to emphasize? Do her looks make women jealous?

Johnny Frederiksen Lionel Walz Jiri Snitil played Norm Magnusson Lorne Hamblin David Murdoch took on some guy named Jeff Stoughton A full house crowd, including a pair of Japanese junior teams in town for the Optimist International Under-18 Championship , turned out to watch the fun and were treated to some great shotmaking in all three games. Peter Loudon ... a fellow who actually beat Stoughton in the final of the 1999 Ford Worlds in Moncton. Playing like high-stakes gamblers for much of the session, Stoughton came up short against a Murdoch team that is obviously set for a serious run starting this Saturday in Grand Forks John Helston , a former Canadian champion for Mike Riley Don Newbury made the shot of his season, sinking an out-turn draw into the four foot behind cover to set up the final victory point.
