Curling, born in Netherlands?
By
Davis Valdnieks
Curling officially was born in Scotland, however a particular painting from the late 16th century shows that curling might have been invented by farmers in the Netherlands. Curling has been included in the Winter Olympics program since 1998.
In Latvia curling is becoming more popular every year. Latvian championships of have been held since 2002 and they are attracting more teams each year. There are around 250 curling players in Latvia who are united in 5 sports clubs in Riga, Venstpils and Jelgava. More information can be found here: http://www.curling.lv/.
In curling it is all about preciseness, sliding a heavy granite rock on ice where it is supposed to be and always being ahead of the other team. Some people call curling chess on ice.

It’s hard to find experienced people in this particular subject,
however, you seem like you know what you’re talking
about!
Thanks
My partner and I stumbled over here different web page and thought I might as
well check things out. I like what I see so now i’m following you. Look forward to exploring your web page again.
Definitely imagine that which you stated.
Your favourite reason seemed to be on the web the
simplest thing to have in mind of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed even as people think about concerns that they plainly
do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the
highest and defined out the whole thing with no need side-effects , people can take
a signal. Will probably be again to get more. Thank
you
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I’m
assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% positive.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Kudos
Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this site.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s challenging to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appeal.
I must say you’ve done a fantastic job with
this. Additionally, the blog loads extremely quick for me on Safari.
Exceptional Blog!
