A curling team or rink consists or four players, men or women: the skip, the third or vice-skip, the second and the lead. The skip is the main strategist: he "reads" the ice and calls the shots (with or without curl) from the other three curlers by indicating the target with his broom or brush; he throws the team's last two shots in each end. The third helps the skip with the strategy and holds the brush or broom for him as a target; he throws the third pair of rocks per end and sweeps. The second throws the second pair of rocks per end and sweeps. The lead throws the team's first two shots in each end and sweeps. 4, record 1, English, - rink

Au curling, une équipe se compose de quatre joueurs (curleurs) ou joueuses (curleuses) : le capitaine ou skip, le troisième, le deuxième ou second, et le premier. Le capitaine est le stratège; c'est lui qui «lit» la glace et appelle les lancers (avec ou sans effet) en indiquant, de son balai ou de sa brosse, la cible que ses trois coéquipiers doivent atteindre; de plus, il lance les deux dernières pierres de son équipe à la fin de chaque manche. Le troisième aide le capitaine à élaborer la stratégie de jeu et le remplace lorsqu'il revient à ce dernier de lancer; il lance la troisième paire de pierres de son équipe et balaie. Le deuxième lance la deuxième paire de pierres par manche et balaie. Le premier lance les deux premières pierres de l'équipe à chaque manche et balaie. 3, record 1, French, - %C3%A9quipe%20de%20curling
