That slopestyle judging was a bit off for the men. Didn't really reward degree of difficulty as McMorris and Parrot both did far more difficult runs than Granger. As for the women, that event should not have been run in that wind ... should have been postponed (although for those who did full pulls, the judging was much better than it was for the men).

As for your curling question, sweeping heats up the ice which reduces the friction so if they need to add speed to the rock they sweep and if it's too heavy (too much speed) they back off. Only curled a few times in my life, but it's definitely harder than it looks (and easy to lose your balance on the ice) ... |

I figured sweeping melted the ice, actually increasing friction between the stone and the surface. But sometimes they sweep to move/curl the rock, and sometimes they seem to be doing the same perpendicular to the rock's motion, to slow it down |

Your overthinking it. When I lived in Singapore in 2000 that started. It's just a cute character that caught on in Asia. I don't get it either.
