For the Olympic sport, curling, please provide the following data: How many country federations exist? Who are the heads of the international federations for this sport? What are the top 10 sources of media/news? How many athletes are there? How many events are there per year?
Hello! Thanks for your question about Curling. The short version is that there are 56 countries ranked by the World Curling Federation. Also there are some 400-450 national curling athletes. Below you will find a deep dive of my findings.
METHODOLOGY
I researched through the World Curling Federation website for the number of country federations they rank, the international events they recognize and collected information regarding their president and vice-president. For the number of athletes, I calculated the count from the number of country federations. For the top sources of news, I googled the term "curling news" and curated all the top results. I have also listed the magazines and publications of the top curling teams like Canada and USA.
