Mixed Curling

Mixed curling, also known as Coed curling, is the sport of curling, when played by men and women together. Some community and school level curling is mixed, while most top-level curling championships are divided into men's and women's divisions. A normal mixed team consists of 2 men and 2 women with the throwers alternating in gender. Recently, the World Curling Federation has introduced a World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship.

The Canadian Mixed Curling Championship is perhaps the world's top-level mixed curling event. There is also the European Mixed Curling Championship. The World Curling Championships, Winter Olympics Curling tournaments, and the top Canadian tournaments known as the Scotties Tournament of Hearts and the Tim Hortons Brier are single-sex events or are divided into single-sex divisions.

Famous quotes containing the words mixed and/or curling:

    Those graceful acts,
    Those thousand decencies, that daily flow
    From all her words and actions, mixed with love
    And sweet compliance, which declare unfeigned
    Union of mind, or in us both one soul.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    The Unicorn looked dreamily at Alice, and said “Talk, child.”
    Alice could not help her lips curling up into a smile as she began: “Do you know, I always thought Unicorns were fabulous monsters, too? I never saw one alive before!”
    “Well, now that we have seen each other,” said the Unicorn, “if you’ll believe in me, I’ll believe in you. Is that a bargain?”
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
