Ice Stock Sport: Germany Ka Unique Winter Game Jo Curling Jaisa Hai, Magar Apni Alag Pehchaan Rakhta Hai
Ice Stock Sport, jise German mein “Eisstockschießen” kaha jata hai, ek winter sport hai jo pehli nazar mein curling jaisa lagta hai, lekin iski technique, rules aur equipment bilkul alag hain. Ye khel khas taur par Germany, Austria aur Switzerland jaise European countries mein mashhoor hai, lekin aaj kal yeh international winter sport competitions mein bhi jagah bana raha hai.
Is game ko aap samajh sakte hain ek ice par khela jane wala lawn bowling ya precision target sport ke taur par.
Ice Stock Sport Kya Hai?
Ice Stock Sport mein players special "ice stocks" ko ice par slide karte hain, aur unka maqsad hota hai:
✅ Ya to apne stock ko target area mein le jana (accuracy-based)
✅ Ya phir maximum distance tak le jana (distance-based)
Is khel ke do major formats hote hain:
-
Target Shooting (Zielschießen) – accuracy aur control par focus
-
Distance Shooting (Weitenwettbewerb) – jahan stock ko sabse door le jaane ki koshish ki jati hai
