Now, after the brilliance of ice hockey and the beginning of speed skating and a show on ice, it seems that the next passenger of the winter games of the Iranian caravan in Harban China will be men's and women's curling.
In recent years, the only familiarity of Iranian people with curling is through television channels, which sometimes broadcast foreign competitions in this field. Even sometimes, the broadcasting of these matches has become a subject for sports enthusiasts.
But from today, this field will officially operate in Iran. The curling association has started its work under the supervision of the ski and winter sports federation and is trying to attract its audience under the management of Mahmoud Abdollahi and to the efforts of Iranmall ice rink.
At the opening ceremony of this association, heroes such as Behdad Salimi, Ali Pakdaman, Zahra Nemati, etc. were present and they even practiced several times with the special equipment of this discipline so that the views on this relatively unknown and newly arrived field changed at the very beginning.
Curling is a sport that is done by pushing stones on ice sheets. These stones are slid towards a target consisting of three overlapping circles, and the members of each team try to push aside the opponent's stones and bring their own stones closer to the central circle.
Those interested can go to the Iranmal ice rink on Saturdays and Mondays from 9:45 to 10:45 in the morning to start this fascinating sport.
