" curling" is a winter sport where players slide stones on a sheet of ice toward a target area. Each team consists of four players, who take turns delivering stones while teammates sweep the ice to influence the stone's trajectory and speed. Points are scored based on the proximity of the stones to the center of the target, known as the house. The game requires strategy and teamwork, making it unique among ice sports, and is played in multiple formats, including team and mixed doubles competitions.
