Curling in Russia - 2009 European Men's Curling Championship. Aberdeen, Scotland

International championship curling returns to Scotland, the home of the sport, for the first time since the 2005 Women’s World Championship, when the Le Gruyere European Curling Championships get underway on Saturday 5th of December in Aberdeen.
This event has grown into the largest Championship event on the curling calendar. This year 51 teams from 30 different European countries are competing.

Scotland’s David Murdoch, who is also the current world champion, defends the European title that he has won in the last two years. Among his “A” division rivals will be Norway’s Thomas Ulsrud, losing finalist in the last two European championships. As well as representing their countries in the European Championships, both of these teams are bound for Vancouver and the Olympic Winter Games in February (where the Scots will compete as Great Britain), as are the men’s teams from Denmark, France, Germany, Sweden and Switzerland. The men’s “A” division is completed by the Czech Republic, Finland and Italy.
