Curling
Curling is a worldwide sport played in many countries. To play curling you need brooms not just ordinary brooms but brooms that are specially made for this sport they are used to reduce the friction and clear any little lumps of ice out of the way, you also need a rock. A rock is like a big puck that weighs in between 17-20 kgs. Stones cost $600 - 700 which is a lot of money the brooms aren't allowed to touch the rock at all or you are out and it is the same if your rock touches the side of the rink you are also out. You also need special shoes that stop you from slipping on the ice. This is all played on one massive oblong ice rink.
To get points you need to get your rock to the middle of the house the house is the points board. The closer you get to the middle the more points you get. Just like darts.
Curling originated in th 15th century in scotland. In 1897 people used to play this game in winter on a frozen lake. They used actual brooms.
