Think curling is just sliding stones? Think again!
With the 2025 Asian Winter Games heating up, CGTN's Li Zhao tried her hand at this icy chess match—and learned it's way more than a slow-motion sport. Spoiler: You *can* pick up the basics in half an hour! Here's how:
Stone Stats: Heavy Metal, Literally
A curling stone weighs as much as a baby panda (around 44 lbs)! But don't panic—pro umpires say the key is in the glide, not brute strength.
Ice, Ice Baby (But Make It Pebbled)
Forget smooth surfaces! Curling ice gets a DIY makeover with water droplets sprayed to create tiny bumps. This 'pebble' effect lets stones curve like TikTok dance moves.
Li's Lightning Round:
Sweeping = Speed Control (think Mario Kart banana peel dodges )
\"The Hack\" = Your launchpad stance (no, not the computer kind)
\"Skip\" = Team captain, not a missed gym day
Verdict? Li nailed the basics but admits: \"It's like learning K-pop choreography—easy steps, hard perfection.\"
