Curling Club ‘Penguin’ Cams in Novosibirsk

Curling is an unusual sport, but one that’s very addictive to watch so thank you to the Penguin Curling Club in the Russian town of Novosibirsk for these live feeds of their rinks

Curling is a winter sport that’s been around since the 16th century. It may look like a simple game of shove ha’penny on ice, but it requires an awful lot of skill, dedication and a great brushing technique to get to Olympic Games standard.

Don’t be at all surprised if you find yourself gripping the arms of your chair while muttering will it, won’t it, will it, won’t it, as the stone slides across the ice toward the target. When the match gets tense, you’ll be joining in with a disappointed oh no or a celebratory oh yes as one stone slams another out of the way to take the winning position. When it’s game over – breathe.
