What is Wheelchair Curling?
Wheelchair curling is the Paralympic form of curling, contested by mixed-gender teams of four. Stones are delivered from the wheelchair using an extension "stick" rather than pushed off the hack. There is no sweeping — placement must be perfect on the delivery. The sport has been Paralympic since Turin 2006.
