The Rock Behind Olympic Curling
There is something most casual viewers never realize about Olympic curling. At the highest level, every stone used in competition comes from the same small, uninhabited island off the coast of Scotland.
Not just similar rock. The exact same source.
Each curling stone begins as granite taken from Ailsa Craig, an ancient volcanic formation. The granite found there is exceptionally dense and highly resistant to water absorption. This is crucial because curling stones experience repeated heavy impacts and constant exposure to melting and refreezing ice. If water penetrates the stone and later freezes, it can create microscopic fractures that alter performance. At elite levels, even the smallest variation can influence the outcome.
Manufacturers use two specific types of granite from the island. A tougher variety forms the main body of the stone to withstand collisions. A rarer, finer grained granite known as Blue Hone is used for the narrow running band that makes contact with the ice. That surface determines how the stone moves and curls. Any variation in material would affect how the sport is played.
The island itself is rarely mentioned during broadcasts, yet it remains a constant presence in every Olympic match. Every precise shot and every narrow miss begins with stone shaped from the same remote source.

@Kieran_Sellick @oranstorrie99 Now most of that is wrong you can stop moaning
English

@oranstorrie99 Add to that Hearts being 9 ahead and the Huns possibly 5 if they are winning by half time… AND no new signings in sight

@theranger1872 @StranraerFC They haven’t even paid the face painter what he was owed.
English

@StranraerFC A very honourable, and humble statement and position to take.
I think I’d be a bit more pointed in my feeling towards the decision, even if technically correct.
I’d like to see Rangers make a financial donation to Stranraer FC to soften the blow that this situation has caused.

@mmatim88 @MattMcGlone9 Yeah, you’re right. Players don’t need to run. 🤣
English

@dixiebhoy19 @MattMcGlone9 Do watch football or track? What does "running" have to do with it? It's called Football because its what you do with the ball. You get goals for running into the net?
English

@mmatim88 @MattMcGlone9 Doubling down on your garbage. He doesn’t want to be here but ran more than anyone else. Aye ok 🤣🤣
Wanting a new team and not trying are two different things.
I presume Larsson didn’t try the full last season he said he was leaving?
Wise up.
English

@dixiebhoy19 @MattMcGlone9 Just because he runs doesn't mean anything. He has stated numerous times he doesn't want to be there. I hope you checked how he feels before you typed this junk?
English

@mmatim88 @MattMcGlone9 Because he played poorly doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to be there. I presume you checked his running stats from Thursday before typing this junk?
English

@MattMcGlone9 Maeda cost us that game. Not giving a fuck. The back pass that went out led to the goal from the corner. Didn't clear the ball that led to the goal from the free kick. Prick. Get him tae fuck if he doesn't want to be there. It's a privilege to wear that jersey, not a burden.

@AgentScotland You can't chuck new players into a debut at Tynecastle so we will get beat because current lot are fucking dreadful and thats that for the league I think. Needed 3/4 new players in with time to settle but knew it was never happening

Also, one of the last things I like to put in is a father and son walking towards/into the picture. If you have such a photo, please send it over. #CelticFC
Alex Bennett@themishmashman
Final final request for your Celtic flags. Please send a clear photo or better still, a digital version & I'll squeeze them in. Also, any further ideas or suggestions of what to add would be greatly appreciated. Am currently looking for famous or well-known fans.

@MichaelMcC03 @themishmashman Me and @themishmashman should be given 6 free buds every home game for this. 😉

@dixiebhoy19 @themishmashman Brilliant mate , love it! Seen it straight away!🍀💚

@MattMcGlone9 Ok and that’s fine, you got a bit touchy there, maybe it’s a sign of the times however, it was a well meant question.

@SparesCeltic Looking to swap 3 Utd for Motherwell. Will be willing to sell but will wait to see if swap can be done first. 🍀

@dixiebhoy19 @SparesCeltic If you are selling later I’d take one, can collect anytime
