The Philippines men\u2019s curling team made history on Feb. 14 by securing the country\u2019s first gold medal at the 9th Asian Winter Games in Harbin, China.<\/p>\n

Led by Marc Pfister, the team triumphed over the Republic of Korea with a 5-3 victory at the roaring game.<\/p>\n

Curling is a team sport played on a rectangular sheet of ice, with two teams of either two or four players. The sport\u2019s nickname, \u201cthe roaring game\u201d, comes from the rumbling sound which the granite stones make as they slide across the ice.<\/p>\n

The Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) took to Instagram to celebrate the team’s historic achievement, congratulating Marc Pfister, Alan Frei, Christian Haller, Enrico Pfister, and alternate Benjo Delarmente.<\/p>\n
