World Curling Hall of Fame explained
The World Curling Hall of Fame is an international curling Hall of Fame that was established by World Curling (former the World Curling Federation) in 2012.[1] The induction is given as an honor that recognizes outstanding contributions to the sport of curling, and is awarded annually. Inductees are also awarded the World Curling Freytag Award, an award which predated the Hall of Fame as the highest honor given by World Curling. Previous Freytag Award winners have been inducted into the Hall of Fame.[2]
Inductees in the World Curling Hall of Fame are curlers or builders of the sport of curling; curlers are inducted based on their performance results, ability, sportsmanship, and character, while builders are inducted based on their distinguished service and major contributions to the development of the sport of curling.[2]
