Since the integration of technology into sports, the line has been blurred between enhancing and impeding. Curling has officially joined that conversation after implementing new sweeping technology.

The objective is to sweep the ice and alter the path of the stone—changing the “curl”—in order to reach the button (center) of the house (target) at the other side of the ice.
