Curling, a sport originating in 16th-century Scotland, will feature prominently in the 2026 Winter Olympics starting February 4 in Italy. Known as 'chess on ice,' it combines precision, strategy, and athleticism as teams slide heavy granite stones toward a target while sweeping the ice. Local clubs in the U.S. are offering crash courses to build excitement ahead of the competition.
