High-tech curling brooms banned
Sweeping restrictions have been announced by Curling Canada, the national regulator for the sport of curling. That is, Curling Canada has outlawed certain sorts of curling brooms that support novel kinds of sweeping.
The move follows controversy originating in the previous season with the introduction of brooms designed to allow sweepers to significantly change the trajectory of a curling stone after it has been thrown.
