1. Curling, born in Scotland in the first half of the 16th century, was played in frozen ponds using simple stones. It's known since 1511. Examples of this sport can also be found in the paintings of Flemish artists. In the 17th century players started to use suitably treated stone discs to sweep the snow. Since 1775 the game has become popular in Northern America, where it was introduced by immigrants.

4. Each team consists of four players. The lead is one that makes the first throw. The second is a good point maker, but also good at taking off the opponents' stones that are in the way. The third is faced with a more tricky game. The fourth player, the skip, is the most experienced player, who devices tactics, advises his teammates on each throw and throws last.
