L'expression «longueur de trajectoire» ne porte que ce sens. Par contre, «longueur de lancer» signifie également le temps pendant lequel le curleur ou la curleuse glisse sur la piste avec la pierre en main, avant de la lâcher. Comme l'expression anglaise «length of delivery» porte ces deux notions, il y a lieu de bien identifier de quoi il est question pour choisir l'équivalent français approprié. 1, record 2, French, - longueur%20de%20trajectoire
