Anyone know what kind of pad is worn on the shoes
of those participating in the curling competition? They slide
with less friction than I would expect from a simple flat leather
sole. Is it anything special?
What's the theory on the brushing?
Are they making enough heat to melt the ice a little bit? Is it just
a matter of smoothing or roughing up the surface? Would the stone curl
without the brushing? I have been thinking on this off an on for a couple
of days but have not come up with explanations that
satisfy.
