	Curling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The curling arena is a sheet of ice 146 feet (45.5 m) long by 14 feet 2 inches (4.32 m) wide, and is carefully prepared to be absolutely level and to allow the "rocks" or "stones", as the polished granite is called, to glide with as little friction as possible.
		Curling shoes are specially designed: the slider shoe (center), with its thin Teflon surface, is worn during delivery to slide on the ice; a slip-on gripper (left) is worn over the slider at other times; the other shoe (right) has a rough surface to give traction on the ice.
		Curling is the provincial sport of Saskatchewan, home of one of the most famous curlers, the late Sandra Schmirler, who led her team to what was, until 2006, the first ever gold medal in the 1998 Winter Olympics.
