(ATR) The World Curling Federation extends its five-year partnership with its preferred development partner.

In a statement, World Curling Federation President Katie Caithness said "I’m delighted to extend this partnership with Rock Solid Productions Inc. so that we continue to make strides in our efforts to make curling as inclusive as possible and so that it can be played in many more countries across the globe."

Formed in 2008, the company promotes curling worldwide and focuses on locations where access to ice is limited, allowing non-traditional curling countries to enter the international circuit offering FloorCurl and Street Curling products to raise awareness of curling.

Rock Solid Productions Inc. will soon release a video series showcasing how to introduce curling with FloorCurl equipment.

"Our agreement has enabled us to help develop the sport in many non-traditional countries that wouldn’t normally be associated with curling or even ice sports. I’m eager to continue to share our iceless curling innovations with as many curling fans as possible." said Chad McMullan, Rock Solid Productions owner and President.

Sinner-Alcaraz, the duel that came to succeed the three phenomenons

Beyond the final result, Roland Garros left the feeling that the Italian and the Spaniard will shape the great duel that came to help us through the duel for the end of the Federer-Nadal-Djokovic era.

Table tennis: Brazil’s Bruna Costa Alexandre will be Olympic and Paralympic in Paris 2024

She is the third in her sport and the seventh athlete to achieve it in the same edition; in Santiago 2023 she was the first athlete with disabilities to compete at the Pan American level and won a medal.

Rugby 7s: the best player of 2023 would only play the medal match in Paris

Argentinian Rodrigo Isgró received a five-game suspension for an indiscipline in the circuit’s decisive clash that would exclude him until the final or the bronze match; the Federation will seek to make the appeal successful.

Rhonex Kipruto, owner of the world record for the 10000 meters on the road, was suspended for six years

The Kenyan received the maximum sanction for irregularities in his biological passport and the Court considered that he was part of a system of “deliberate and sophisticated doping” to improve his performance. He will lose his record and the bronze medal at the Doha World Cup.

Katie Ledecky spoke about doping Chinese swimmers: “It’s difficult to go to Paris knowing that we’re going to compete with some of these athletes”

The American, a seven-time Olympic champion, referred to the case of the 23 positive controls before the Tokyo Games that were announced a few weeks ago and shook the swimming world. “I think our faith in some of the systems is at an all-time low,” he said.
