This is a statistical synopsis of event of Curling at the 2010 Winter Olympics.
6 of the 80 curlers at the 1998 Nagano Olympics are competing in Vancouver (plus a seventh who serves as a coach).
12 of the 100 curlers at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics are in Vancouver.
22 of the 100 curlers at the 2006 Turin Olympics are back in Vancouver.
In curling, each player is graded on their shots on a scale of zero to four. Their cumulative point total is then marked as a percentage out of the total points possible. This score is just for statistical purposes, and has nothing to do with the outcome of the game.
Percentages by draw.

Key
Curling is a sport in which players slide stones on a sheet of ice toward a target area which is segmented into four concentric circles. It is related to bowls, boules, and shuffleboard. Two teams, each with four players, take turns sliding heavy, polished granite stones, also called rocks, across the ice curling sheet toward the house, a circular target marked on the ice. Each team has eight stones, with each player throwing two. The purpose is to accumulate the highest score for a game; points are scored for the stones resting closest to the centre of the house at the conclusion of each end, which is completed when both teams have thrown all of their stones once. A game usually consists of eight or ten ends.
