Seuls les athlètes en fauteuil roulant participent aux compétitions de curling. [...] Les compétitions se déroulent selon les règles du curling traditionnel, à deux exceptions près : la pierre est lancée à l'aide d'un «bâton» et l'utilisation du balai, qui peut encore influencer la trajectoire de la pierre après le lancer, est interdite. 2, record 1, French, - curling%20traditionnel
