Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The technical term is "deliver": it bears all the efficiency needed to position a rock on the intended target. The words "throw" and "pull" express more force and vigour than the conjugated strength and precision needed to place a rock on the targeted spot. 5, record 1, English, - deliver

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
Mettre une pierre en mouvement en lui donnant, par l'élan adéquat, l'impulsion, la pesanteur et l'effet nécessaires pour qu'elle se positionne sur le jeu, ou déplace ou sorte du jeu d'autres pierres qui y sont déjà immobilisées. 4, record 1, French, - lancer
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Les équipes se composent de 4 joueurs [...] qui tirent chacun deux pierres. 3, record 1, French, - lancer
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Au Canada, on distingue entre «lâcher une pierre», la laisser glisser sur la piste en relâchant la prise de la main sur la poignée, et «lancer une pierre», l'ensemble de l'élan pour mettre une pierre en mouvement sur le jeu. 4, record 1, French, - lancer
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Le curling étant un jeu d'adresse, le terme «tirer» est plutôt rustre pour désigner le lancer de la pierre qui se veut toujours un geste contenu et précis, parfois en puissance mais souvent en retenue. 4, record 1, French, - lancer
