Smart Broom!

Actually, it's a pretty cool idea:

The first SmartBroom was used by Canada before the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. But at the request of Curling Canada, the country’s national curling federation, Hamilton and his partners agreed not to sell SmartBrooms to other consumers until after the Olympics. Fowler called it a “polite agreement” rooted in relationships with Curling Canada officials.
In Sochi, the Canadian men and women swept gold.
But now 8 of 13 countries sending curling teams seem to have it.
