The mixed doubles curling events are well underway at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. Here Newsweek explains all you need to know about the sport.
Mixed doubles curling is similar to regular curling in that it requires teams to take it in turns to slide granite stones towards a bullseye target, known as the house.The difference between the event and normal curling is that the teams are made up of just two athletes, rather than four.Mixed doubles curling is played on ice and the athletes try to slide a stone towards the target, which is a set of three rings in red, white, and blue.
Alternatively, athletes can try to move their stones so that one is protecting another that is closer to the center.In curling there are 10 ends with each player in both the men's and women's events throwing eight stones per end. The skip, or fourth stone, will be used to try and score a point or to stop the other teams from being able to score.
