Wheelchair curling at the Winter Paralympics features two teams sliding granite stones across ice toward a circular target called the 'house.' Unlike traditional curling, there are no sweepers - athletes deliver stones from wheelchairs using a delivery stick. The sport emphasizes precision and strategy over sweeping techniques.

Games consist of eight ends, with teams taking turns delivering stones. Each team can play three types of shots: guards to protect stones, draws to reach the house, and take-outs to remove opponent stones. The 'hammer' - the final stone of each end - often proves decisive. Teams may strategically blank ends to retain the hammer for future scoring opportunities.

Scoring occurs after each end, with the team closest to the center button earning one point plus additional points for each stone closer than their opponent's best stone. The team with the most points after eight ends wins. If tied, extra ends determine the victor. This adaptation of curling showcases remarkable skill while maintaining the sport's core strategic elements.
