World Curling Federation

World Curling Federation (WCF) er det internationale curlingforbund, der fungerer som det styrende organ for vintersportsgrenen curlingverdensplan. Forbundet blev dannet ud fra International Curling Federation (ICF) i forbindelse med forsøget på at få curling optaget på programmet ved de olympiske vinterlege. Navneændringen skete i 1991.

ICF var blevet oprettet i 1965 som en komite (International Curling Council) under Royal Caledonian Curling Club i Perth, Skotland efter den succesfulde afholdelse af Scotch Cup-serien af verdensmesterskaber mellem Canada og Skotland. ICF bestod af repræsentanter fra curlingforbundene i Skotland, Canada, Sverige, Norge, Schweiz og USA og stod for indførelsen af et officielt VM i curling som arvtager for Scotch Cup.

WCF arrangerer flere verdensmesterskaber, herunder

  • VM i curling for mænd, kvinder og mixeddouble
  • Junior-VM i curling for drenge og piger
  • VM i kørestolscurling for mixeddouble
  • Senior-VM i curling for mænd og kvinder

Flag of Chinese Taipei for Olympic games.svg
Chinese Taipei Olympic Flag. According to the official website of Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee, Blue Sky(circle) & White Sun(triangles) above the Olympic rings is neither the National Emblem of the Republic of China, nor the Party Emblem of Kuomintang (KMT), but a design in between, where the triangles do not extend to the edge of the blue circle, as registered at International Olympic Committee in 1981 and digitally rendered in 2013. Besides, the blue outline of the five-petaled plum blossom is broader than the red one. Moreover, the CMYK code of the blue one and the Blue Sky & White Sun is "C100-M100-Y0-K0", and different from the Olympic rings (C100-M25-Y0-K0). Note that it's the only version recognized by IOC.
