It might seem strange for an African country sitting just above the Equator to have a curling team, but curling has always been open to all and other hot countries like Brazil and Kuwait have been curling for years. Nigeria's Senior Men are skipped by Tijani Cole, who only started curling around 5 years ago with his wife in Denver, USA.



This is the official logo for the Nigerian Curling Federation team.

It's been easier to find out about Nigeria than some of the other participants, but I've found this photo of John Brown, obviously a big cheese in English Curling, who is the English skip for this year's Championships
