0:02:22 > 0:02:24Winter Olympics stuff now and to the sport of Curling.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Last night, Great Britain's men's team failed to get

0:02:26 > 0:02:28a place in the semi finals.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31But Great Britain s women have made it - they play Sweden

0:02:31 > 0:02:31in the semis tomorrow.

0:02:31 > 0:02:35So we thought now was a good time to give you five fun facts

0:02:35 > 0:02:38about the sport itself...

0:02:41 > 0:02:43First up, let's take a look at the shoes.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45They don't wear heels, that's for sure.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Curlers wear two different shoes when they are on the ice.

0:02:47 > 0:02:51On one foot they have a sliding sole which allows the athlete to slide

0:02:51 > 0:02:53when they throw the stone or when they are sweeping.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55On the other foot, the shoe is just a normal

0:02:55 > 0:02:59athletic shoe but the sole has to be the same thickness as the slider to

0:02:59 > 0:03:03keep the curler level.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10The ice is a very important part of the game,

0:03:10 > 0:03:13small droplets of water are sprayed onto it,

0:03:13 > 0:03:15that's called pebbling and

0:03:15 > 0:03:18it means the surface is in tiptop condition for the rocks to glide

0:03:18 > 0:03:21smoothly along the surface.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Curling stones are made out of real rock

0:03:27 > 0:03:28called granite.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31It's used because it's so hard and tough.

0:03:31 > 0:03:39All curling stones for competitors around the

0:03:39 > 0:03:42world are made in Scotland, all of the granite used comes

0:03:42 > 0:03:44from this rock called Ailsa Craig on the coast of Ayrshire

0:03:44 > 0:03:45which in Gaelic

0:03:45 > 0:03:46means 'fairy rock'.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49The hog line is this area of the ice, each player's stone

0:03:49 > 0:03:51must go over this line, if it doesn't, the

0:03:51 > 0:03:53stone will be removed from play.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56Not good.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01Boys and girls, this could be the most

0:04:01 > 0:04:05exciting move in curling, a

0:04:05 > 0:04:07good old-fashioned lunge, look how much fun she is having.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09This technique is used by the athlete to

0:04:09 > 0:04:11make sure they have good direction and balance

0:04:11 > 0:04:12when they are moving the

0:04:12 > 0:04:13stone.

0:04:13 > 0:04:19One, two, three, lunge!

0:04:19 > 0:04:21And if you're wondering which sport you'd be great

0:04:21 > 0:04:23at in the Winter Olympics, head to newsround online where

0:04:23 > 0:04:26you can take a quiz to find out.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Manchester United were held to a goalless draw at

0:04:36 > 0:04:38Sevilla in the first leg of their Champions

0:04:38 > 0:04:39League last 16 tie.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Record signing Paul Pogba was left on the bench,

0:04:41 > 0:04:44although he did replace the injured Ander Herrera in the first half.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46United's David de Gea made some great saves to keep

0:04:46 > 0:04:48the score at nil-nil.

0:04:48 > 0:04:49Mourinho's side produced just six shots compared

0:04:49 > 0:04:55with 25 by the home side.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58Next up, a giant clock is being built in Texas in the US

0:04:58 > 0:05:01that will only tick once a year!

0:05:01 > 0:05:04It's called the 10,000 year clock.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06Every 100 years the century hand will move forward and the cuckoo

0:05:06 > 0:05:09comes out every 1000 years.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12A special team has spent the last 30 years designing and building

0:05:12 > 0:05:14the clock which is buried 150m deep into a mountain.

0:05:14 > 0:05:15So what's the point?

0:05:15 > 0:05:19Well, the creators hope it will enourage people to think more

0:05:19 > 0:05:25about time and the impact we all have on our planet.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31I know! I'm none the wiser!

0:05:31 > 0:05:33If you're not a fan of heights, look away now.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39It's nearly 500 metres long with a vertical drop

0:05:39 > 0:05:43of more than 200 metres - it is supposed to represent a dragon

0:05:43 > 0:05:44flying through the valley.

0:05:44 > 0:05:51It's designed to take up to 2000 people at a time.

0:05:51 > 0:05:56Incredible.

0:05:56 > 0:05:57Have a great day at school.
