What does it mean to be lead in curling?
A curling team is made up of four players - the lead (or first), the second, the vice (or third), and the skip.The lead is the player who throws the first two rocks for their team. During the other three players' turns, the lead is designated as a sweeper. This means that leads generally need to be able to consistently make simple set-up shots (guards, draws) while also being athletic enough to be one of the team's two main sweepers.Learn more about curling on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curling
What does the second do for curling?
The second shoots (or "throws") his team's 3rd and 4th rocks, and sweeps for all the other players' rocks. The second is usually asked to throw draws (rocks that are supposed to come to rest in the house to score points) after the lead throws guards (rocks in front of the house for other rocks to hide behind)
Why in curling they call the people throwing the fifth and sixth rocks thirds?
They are the third player to throw rocks for the team. The "lead" throws the 1st and 2nd rocks, the "second" throws the 3rd and 4th rocks, the "third" throws the 5th and 6th rocks, and the "skip" throws the 7th and 8th rocks. The third is also sometimes called the "vice skip," because the third acts as skip while the skip is throwing his (or her) rocks.
