LANCER PIERRE VITESSE [1 record]

Record 1 1999-08-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Curling
DEF

To deliver a rock with force and vigour.

OBS

The expression "big weight" can mean the right weight for the planned put-out, but also an excess of weight that can give a miss if the rock does not hit an opponent's rock and runs throught the house, hit the backboard and becomes out of play.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Curling
DEF

Exécuter un lancer de pierre avec beaucoup d'élan, de puissance, de pesanteur.

OBS

L'expression «avec force» peut signifier la puissance nécessaire pour la sortie recherchée, mais également un excès de pesanteur qui donne un raté si la pierre ne frappe aucune autre pierre et qu'elle est propulsée jusqu'à l'amortisseur ou pare-choc derrière la maison, forçant son retrait du jeu.
