Trivia

We are immersing the fever of the Beijing Winter Olympics 2022 and this morning we saw a curling event. My daughters asked how is this game played? What is the stone made of?

The rules can be found here and apparently only one location in the world produced the curling stones for the 2022 Winter Olympics. The from granite that made the stone came from one island in Scotland (incidentally, Scotland is also where the game originated from). How about that?

I have always watched curling one way or the other when the Winter sports are shown on TV. I may have looked up the rules before (perhaps literally every time I watch that game), but what the stone is made of I never thought about it.

Apparently this granite is so strong that the curling stone doesn't crack when it hits other stones. Another trivia for you 😊

So the next time you watch curling, you will be that much more interested, knowing these knowledge!
