Position qu'adopte le curleur, la curleuse, pour lancer une pierre : jambe de glisse repliée vers l'avant, le haut du corps s'y appuie et semble assis dessus, alors que l'autre jambe glisse derrière. 2, record 2, French, - position%20accroupie
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
L'expression «position accroupie» est plus appropriée à décrire la position du curleur au moment de lancer bien que différente de l'habituelle position de ce nom où les deux jambes sont repliées sous le corps; «position assise» ne vaut que pour l'apparence que donne la position du curleur en appui sur sa jambe de glisse. 2, record 2, French, - position%20accroupie
