Curling is a team sport played on ice, where players slide stones towards a target area, known as the house. Each team consists of four players who take turns delivering the stones, aiming to get them as close to the center of the house as possible. Players use brooms to sweep the ice in front of the sliding stone, which helps control its speed and direction. The game is played in a series of rounds called ends, and the team with the highest score at the end of the match wins.
