Winter Olympic Encyclopedia: Curling competition with two brushes How to watch the hilarity and look at the doorway?

What winter Olympics projects, even if you can't understand it, you want to see a hilarity? With the operation of a brush puzzle, it is enough to make the curling list.

Affected by its own rotation during the sliding process, the trajectory of curling is actually an arc. The purpose of ice brushing is to control curling, the direction and speed of progress. The brush posture is different, and the effect is completely different.

Don't underestimate this brush, it can be gentle or absolutely hardcore. If you just sweep it a few times, you will clean up the debris on the ice so as not to interfere with the curling, sliding speed and line. When you see athletes brushing ice with all their might, it's time to witness a miracle. Vigorously brushing the ice will increase the temperature of the ice surface and melt, forming a film of water. Traditionally, doing this not only reduces friction and allows curling to slide farther, but also reduces the arc of the slide, allowing curling to go in a straight line as much as possible.

In the past two years, with the development of curling, a more flexible "directional ice brushing" technology has emerged. When an athlete brushes the ice in the direction of the curling rotation, it can be made out of a larger arc. In turn, curling trajectories can be made as close as possible to straight lines.

When curling, not everyone is qualified to brush ice. Before curling crosses the center line, only the throwing player is eligible to brush the ice, and after crossing the center line, the opponent can have one player join the ice brushing team. Of course, the opponent must have brushed the ice in order to "cause destruction".

This is because the curling position determines the score of both sides. For example, in this game, in the base camp, the red team only has 1 pot closer to the center of the circle than any of the yellow team's pots, so it scores 1 point. In this inning, the yellow team had 3 pots closer to the center of the circle than any of the red team's pots, so the yellow team scored 3 points.

Therefore, whether it is to take the tactic of blocking the track or hitting the opponent's curling, it is to give your own curling a favorable position. And this requires the captain of each team to make brain-burning decisions.

Who is the captain? The guy yelling at the ice skater on the field was. After all, the curling track is more than 40 meters long, and it can only be communicated by roaring.
