Geçmişten Günümüze En Gizemli Olimpik Spor: Curling Sporu Hakıinda Derleme

Beş yüz yıldan uzun bir süredir buz üzerinde taşlarla oynanan ve buzun satrancı olarak adlandırılan curling sporunun popülaritesi her geçen gün artmaktadır. Curling sporuna olan ilginin artmasının en önemli göstergelerinden biri de Dünya Curling Federasyonu üye ülke sayısının son yirmi yılda iki katına çıkmasıdır. Curling branşı 1998 yılında olimpiyatlara dâhil edildikten kısa bir süre sonra televizyonlarda en çok izlenen kış sporlarından biri haline gelmiştir. Toplumsal ilginin yansımaları bilim dünyasında da karşılık bulmuş ve curling ile ilgili bilimsel çalışmaların sayısında artış gözlemlenmiştir. Ancak çalışmalardaki artışa rağmen şu anda spor hakkında temel bilgiler sağlayan kapsamlı bir literatür taraması bulunmamaktadır. Bu derlemenin amacı, bu alandaki bilimsel çalışmaların incelenerek literatüre katkı sunmak, curling sporu ve kuralları hakkında genel bilgi vermektir. Bu derlemede curling sporunun tarihçesi, organizasyon yönetimi, kuralları, stratejisi, buz özellikleri, kullanılan malzemeler ve bilimsel araştırmalara değinilmiştir. Daha önceki çalışmalar, özellikle mühendislik alanında, buzun yapısı, süpürme teknikleri ve buz üzerinde taşların hareketi gibi yönleri araştırmış olsa da, curling branşıyla ilgili hala çözülmeyi bekleyen birçok gizemli nokta bulunmaktadır.

From Past to Present The Most Mysterious Olympic Sport: A Review of Curling Sport

The popularity of curling, a target sport played on ice with rocks, has been steadily increasing. The number of World Curling Federation member countries has doubled in the last two decades. Shortly after taking part in the Olympics in 1998, curling became one of the most popular winter sports on TV. The reflections of the interest in the society have found a response in the world of science and an increase has been observed in the number of scientific studies on curling. However, despite the increase in studies, there is currently no comprehensive literature review that provides fundamental information about the sport of curling. The aim of this review is to provide general information about the sport of curling and its rules by filling the gap in the literature examining the scientific studies in this field. In this review the history, organization management, rules, strategy, ice properties, materials used and scientific research on the sport of curling are mentioned. While previous studies, particularly in the field of engineering, have explored aspects such as the structure of ice, sweeping techniques, and the movement of stones on ice, many mysteries still remain to be unrevealed.
