01:13So curling is a winter Olympic and Paralympic sport that has been played from hundreds of years.
01:20In India there is also a new sport that we've been playing here in the last 5-6 years.
01:25So we're playing here.
01:26So this sport is quite unique.
01:29It's almost chess on ice.
01:31And we're playing here in Canada, Scotland, US and Scandinavian countries.
01:39It's been originated in Scotland.
01:41And we're playing here in the last 4 days.
01:47So we're playing here in the game.
02:17We only get stone on that island.
02:19This stone is a special property that doesn't absorb water.
02:24This water is hydrophobic.
02:27In the world, there is a hydrophobic stone in Scotland.
02:32And they are also very few people to build?
02:34Yes, they are very few.
02:35There is a company that builds stone.
02:38And they get permits for a year to extract stone.
02:42So, they are very few stones in the year.
02:46And they come from Scotland.
02:47And for keeping it, we also have a lot of uniqueness.
02:51Yes, we maintain the stone.
02:54And this is a curling ice.
02:56It is a special equipment for making it.
02:59Before the game, we spray water on the ice.
03:03We use the peveling.
03:05And after that, we can play ice.
03:08If we talk about India, where is it standing in India?
03:11India is a member of the World Curling Federation.
03:17It is our men's team, mixed team, mixed doubles team.
03:20At the international level, there is a good performance.
03:23We also win medals.
03:25World Curling, which is organized in events and world curling tours.
03:31Okay.
03:32Okay.
03:33So, in this way, this is how the world is going to play curling?
03:37What kind of status is it?
03:40We are the players of Utrakhan.
03:41We are the players of Utrakhan.
03:42The curling game is a very unique and new game.
03:45If we talk about it, we are getting the talent in Utrakhan.
03:49If we talk about it, we are getting the talent in Utrakhan.
03:50If we talk about it, we are getting the talent in Utrakhan.
04:01We also get the talent here.
04:01We also get the talent in Utrakhan where they are��의然äoparta evaporated from Egypt to Olympia.
04:12They have become formed for education andantuja.
04:20Part of the camp.
04:25I believe confirm that we are living in this camp of � Danish.
04:31I think it was very early, but the operation of the game was closed.
04:36Today, we are doing it again.
04:38We are getting a new game to see this curling game,
04:40which people have seen on TV.
04:43So, what kind of new games have been given to this venue?
04:50Look, the curling game is a very interesting game.
04:52You know that the icing is in India.
04:55The natural icing is now in our Uttarakhand.
04:57It is made in Lataak.
04:58So, to maintain the expense of ice,
05:01it becomes a big challenge for us.
05:03So, we want to make maximum sports like ice hockey,
05:06ice skating, curling, bendy, ice talk.
05:09So, we can do five or six types of sports in this ice swing.
05:12So, we always try to keep the ice on the maximum,
05:16so that we can maintain all the cost.
05:20It was very challenging for us.
05:22If we look at ice hockey,
05:24we need to do ice skating.
05:27So, how do you manage the whole thing?
05:30And what kind of things do you do?
05:33Look, for every sport,
05:34we have to maintain different ice temperature.
05:38As I am talking about ice skating,
05:40I have to maintain the hardness of ice skating.
05:42For hockey, I don't have to maintain that hardness.
05:44So, when we look at curling,
05:46we have to maintain our curling sheets.
05:47The smoothness is very good.
05:49Because when we start curling,
05:50we have to be pebbling.
05:52So, we have to maintain the temperature of the machine.
05:55So, we have to maintain a lot of challenges.
05:56Because in India,
05:59the winter sports are very popular.
06:01We have to be promoted and popular.
06:02So, in different states,
06:03we have to have a camp,
06:04different states,
06:05national events,
06:06Asian short track,
06:08international events.
06:09So, our challenge is that,
06:10when we align something,
06:13if we are skating,
06:15we try to give the ice skating
06:18and give the ice skating
06:19so that we have to maintain our temperature
06:21so that we have to maintain our temperature
06:23and continue to provide the ice hockey
06:24and curling
06:24to a different temperature.
06:27By the way,
06:28when it was built in 2011,
06:30it has been said
06:30that it was not functional.
06:33It was too much.
06:35What are we managing today?
06:38Is this a big deal?
06:41Is this a big deal?
06:41Or is this a big deal?
06:43Because we are seeing
06:43that there are new games
06:44here.
06:44We have to be able to manage
06:45our Uttarakhand.
06:46We are growing in ice games.
06:48So, what are we managing?
06:52In 2010,
06:53when I was here,
06:55I was in Uttarakhand.
06:56I was born in Lataq.
06:57I had a sport pickup in Lataq.
06:59When I was in engineering,
07:02I was in engineering.
07:02Then, I was told
07:02that there was an ice swing.
07:04That's when,
07:05our body was made
07:06the Winter Games Federation of India.
07:08So, what was that
07:08the sport was not so popular?
07:10The winter games
07:10didn't get so much money.
07:11Because these winter games
07:13were going to be in Lataq
07:14and they were playing in Himachal.
07:15So, what happened
07:16in the seasonally,
07:17like in the winter,
07:19there were children's
07:19in Himachal.
07:21There were children's
07:22in the winter.
07:23So, the maximum
07:23people were able to pursue
07:24this sport.
07:25Now, if we compare
07:26in 2011,
07:28we played safe games.
07:29In the safe games,
07:30there were 7-8 countries
07:31participated in ice skating,
07:32figure skating
07:32and ice hockey.
07:34There was also a ski event.
07:35So, the winter games
07:36was a long gap.
07:37Yes, it was a long gap.
07:38It was not a long gap.
07:38It was not a long gap.
07:39It was not a long time.
07:40There were so many athletes
07:41and kids who were able
07:43to play this rink
07:43for 12 hours.
07:46Because if nothing
07:47goes on,
07:47it's going to be
07:48the electricity
07:48and the government
07:50also thinks that
07:50if we don't have athletes,
07:52we don't have tradition,
07:53we don't have football,
07:55then it's also a challenge.
07:57How are you?
07:58It's a great football.
07:59We have done a lot of events.
08:01We have done a lot of events.
08:01We have done a lot of national
08:02and international events.
08:04There are many different sports
08:04that are playing on the ice.
08:06So, now,
08:07I will tell you,
08:09when we were listening
08:10to Sivladak
08:11and Himachal,
08:11when we were playing,
08:12today,
08:13these sports,
08:14we have talked about
08:14from Tilangana.
08:15We have talked about
08:16from PN Rajuji.
08:18So, there are different states
08:19that people are participating.
08:21And that's why
08:22we have played
08:22a good scheme
08:23so that people can join.
08:25Yes, PN Play,
08:26our government has
08:27a very good scheme.
08:28Look,
08:28what happens here?
08:30Basically,
08:30we charge them
08:31from a camp.
08:32We charge them
08:32from the camp.
08:34However,
08:34needs to learn
08:36here.
08:38Because,
08:38first of all,
08:39learning to skate
08:39is very important.
08:40If they learn skating,
08:42then,
08:42then,
08:42then,
08:42then,
08:46is very good.
08:53So,
08:53we have a great
08:55opportunity for
08:56people.
08:56So,
08:56if they come here,
08:57the sport.
08:59And,
08:59if they have a monthly membership,
09:00then,
09:00then,
09:00then,
09:03we can provide them.
09:04So,
09:04we can provide them.
09:05So,
09:06if we talk about this,
09:07then,
09:08any institution,
09:09who is our
09:11partner,
09:12and then,
09:12if we have to execute
09:14people,
09:14then,
09:16we have to make
09:16and make it a good
09:17advantage.
09:18So,
09:18we have to make it
09:19an important example.
09:21We have to make it
09:24that we have to make it
09:26a new game
09:28and new games
09:29and new games
09:30are made.
09:30This is
09:31a great example.
09:36ETV,
09:37Bharat,
09:37Dehradun.
