To participate in curling you usually have teams of three where one person slides a 'rock', which is a puck-like granite stone, across the ice (or curling sheet) and two others use brooms in order to create a path.
The sweepers have to curve the path so the rock will follow it and hopefully land in the center of a bulls eye type of ring. Whichever team's stone is closest to the middle gets higher points and once all of the stons are used up the game is at it's end. Each team usually gets eight to ten stones.
Curling is related to Bowls, Boule and Shuffleboard in which they all use sliding or tossing across the ground in order to get the ball/puck to it's score point.
This looks like a recent match where it was us (New Zealand) vs China where our team lost but still seems to be improving.
