Curling is a popular sport in Canada where players slide stones in trying to get one to reach a target. Players sweep the sheet of ice in order to create friction for the stone to stop before it goes past the target, which consists of four concentric circles. The first ladies saw a demonstration of\u00a0 how to throw a stone and sweep the ice.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Jill Biden @FLOTUS + Canada = Curling pic.twitter.com\/fg3U0TMJbp<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Howard Mortman (@HowardMortman) March 24, 2023<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5147845\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript> U.S. First Lady Jill Biden and her Canadian counterpart, Sophie Gr\u00e9goire Trudeau, visit the historic Rideau Curling Club and host a listening session with young athletes on wellness and mental health in Ottawa, Canada, on March 24, 2023.
