The coin toss determines which team gets last rock in the first end and not which team goes first. Last rock or "hammer" can be a major factor in the scoring outcome of the end. Admittedly, the winner of the coin toss might elect to shoot first, but it's unlikely. Also, rocks or 'stones' are delivered alternately and each player delivers two stones in the case of a four-man team (for a three-man team, the lead and second each throw three stones and the skip throws two.)
I recorded a bunch of curling matches on my DVR so I figured I should know the basics before diving into them. Thanks for the quick, simple explanation.
It requires skills, strategy, team work and fitness. More than we can say about 3/4 of the "sports" at the Olympics. If you've played before, you already know that. If you haven't, try it before you judge it. Way harder than people think at all levels.
@@RollingxBigshot Have you ever played. Try 2 10 ends games in the same day at a competitive level. You'll understand what I'm talking about. And to sweep like they sweep, oh boy!
In Canada, often instead of a coin toss, the two "skips" each throw one "stone"; the team which is closest to the "pin" or "button" goes last, or is awarded "the hammer".
OMG.... Whenever i saw these kind of videos, i thought they were cleaning the ice skating ring in some weird way lol 😂 Never expected this. A shocking reveal
It is actually more difficult than it seems I have been curling for a long time and their is a lot of strategy involved and Also every sheet of ice is different so how hard you throw the rock changed every game.

I played curing in Wisconsin all throughout highschool and when I went to Alaska I played there a bit. It's a fun sport to play! Not as much fun to watch though.
If they want to make curling interesting enough to keep people watching for the half day that a game lasts, they have to pick it up a bit. I have suggested several rule changes that would keep people on the edge of their seats. One rule change: allow body checking. Second: Goalies. Third: much narrower seats.
I'm always felt that this shouldn't be an Olympic games considering so many countries does not even play it. I believe sports like bowling, squash are more globally known than this game.
I have never played,and hooked up during Olympics, but people saying "looks easy" makes me laugh. It seems to need a lot of precision and foreseeing to play it right
I think I get it. I think I get it. I think I get it. I think I get it. Okay, they lost me in the second half, BUT from the little I’ve seen, it looks amusing and I’ve set my Xfinity (tv) up 😁
Whoever made this is genius. I'm from Minnesota and have a hard time explaining curling to people so I just show them this.
This sport is kinda dumb though
@@riandelltugas1973 you take that back.
Same
@@PH-wc8ll curling is gay
So how many career ending injuries can you get in this sport?
Thank you! With Olympics coming, I wanted to tell my students about this sport, instead I’ll just show this video!

Dunc M, thank you.
@Motta Wang did your social credit score decrease, or are you having an on the spectrum meltdown?
It’s funny I’m only watching this because i never knew how this sport worked
I think that is what this video is for
Same here
Exactly
Same
Same here
all janitors should be qualified to participate

First off why? Secondly, did you ever watch them?
@@alejandrosantana5693you’ll never know now
Thanks for the information It seams like it would be fun to play!!!
This was great, i'm starting Curling lessons this week at my local Sport's Centre, i'm excited 🙌🏴🥌🤞

...foda...
Miguel Ramirez I live in New York State 20 miles north of Manhattan.
Passa cera no corredor de casa e vai varrendo xD
@@atreiu182 actually! i'm thinking on to fill up a "bocha" court with water and then freeze it, think it gonna work
Or you can Bocha instead lol
I stumbled upon curling on TV, watched it for 20mins trying to get it, then someone scored and I was like... What? And now I'm here. Thank you.
I still dont know how this sport made it to the olympics but i wanna play this in the Olympics once 🤣

@@Goofyboy2006 yeah OKAY
@@Goofyboy2006 more fitness than 3/4 sports in the Olympics. 🤔 idk about that one man.

Eric Snyder I thought it said throw ins another. 😂😂
Wow, clear and nicely explained 👏
nah
Curling is underrated asf
I just wanted to know why they try to sweep ice
Can you add subtitles like the Canadian Curling Association did? It would be nice for teaching deaf curlers how to curl or what curling is.
UA-cam automatically adds caption. Click the three dots ... Or the CC button
Great vid, it helped me explain to my 4yr old what Curling is. Thanks!
i never knew such a think existed. man i learned something new today ig.
Nice video. It would be great if the measurements of the sheet were displayed also in metric.
wow, great short explanation - thanks
Yes mum used to make us play this as children everyday,instead of a curl ball,we'd start off with the broom followed by the vacuum cleaner.
Going tomorrow thanks for the quick summary
Wow that was nICE and simple. Scoring is like bocce.
Great video.
OMG.... Whenever i saw these kind of videos, i thought they were cleaning the ice skating ring in some weird way lol 😂

Great job, so succinct, thank you, big help
This doesn’t look so difficult… finally, an Olympic sport I might qualify 😁

Did jerry smith narrate this
That was Caine from the Amazing Digital Circus.
Just learning this now since life without real sports right now
Will be watching during Beijing winter Olympics.
The name curling stems from the Gaelic word curr, meaning grumble (sound).
I love this sport
Thnks bro
Thanks for this!!!

You realize body checking wouldn’t do anything right?
@@Preivous : Violence is its own spectator reward.
@@Bentriverrusher okay you got me convinced lol
Should have body checking and attacking each other with sticks as they roll the rock down.
😂😂😂😂
Hard chris... HARD!!!
Well explained!
Thank You for this basic teaching tool.
Please explain fencing too!
It's strangely compelling to watch.
Does anyone know why there is no Norwegian highlights or anything?
I finally understand what curling about
Sou do Brasil, mas adoro assistir esse esporte
That's simple explanation... Thanks
Ohvjt
That was helpful. Ish.
Great job whoever did this.

Cool animation.
It sound like a more respectfull sport than it actually looks.
Somewhere there was a really cold boring winter somewhere and a couped up virgin
Thanks! This was awesome.
That sounds like a real exciting game,,,,yeah right
Bravo ba
So what’s up with the hammer?
Humans are running out of meaningful games - so inventing wierd ones
hey,this is actually more interesting than like 40% of other sports
Yeah there's more simpler sport to execute than this one
Thanks for the advise im going to know how to play when i go to school :)
I have never played,and hooked up during Olympics, but people saying "looks easy" makes me laugh. It seems to need a lot of precision and foreseeing to play it right
Big up for this clip! :)

Patches O'Houlihan!!? 😲
Right! Ready for PyeongChang
If this is not stupid then video games in Olympics is not stupid too.
So basically who ever is closest to the middle each round gets a point
The stones are heavy
Thanks for the explanation and hoping your subs double thanks to the Winter Olympics.
What? It's just marbles on the tape, then?
WORLD IS SO BIG
Basically how i used to play marbles
Who’s watching this and the 2018 Olympics?
all Latinos want to participate and win medals but unfortunately since there is no ice there is nowhere to practice
Greetings from Peru 🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪
I tried watching this and i cant believe ive found a sport more boring than baseball
All i need now is a 100 meter long ice sheet
I am old school
when wife wants to go curling
we have fun. and this game has nothing to do with it.
Do i have to catch Golden Snitch to end the boring game ?
Just wow..
Bowling + Billiard + Mopping = Curling
If _that_ doesn't get the chicks ...
😂😂😂
I am the best curler in the world after i drink a few beers.
Sorry, but no matter what anyone says, I think this is the stupidest "game" in the world. Whoever invented it must have been on some weird stuff...
I don’t feel like this is a sport like it’s more like a board game
Brasil dont have...
I am only here because the teacher asked us to watch the video 🌚
Absolutely absurd
Cheers
Simple enough
Here from Family Guy.
In Asia it is strange game
If only Dokonoyubi and Shingancrimsonz know the rules...
I decided to try
Anyone from the "Haaaaaard" video.
So i'm here after seeing two Russian dude play curling with their AKs and mine :D
This is like it’s out of FALLOUT lmaoooo
Yeah I was wondering 😂 what was this weird game 😂
