The 2026 Winter Olympics Curling schedule started on February 4th, 2026. Curling, often called “chess on ice,” delivers intense strategy, precision sweeping, and dramatic last-stone drama. At the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, curling features three disciplines: men’s team, women’s team, and mixed doubles. All events take place at the historic Cortina Olympic Stadium (Stadio Olimpico del Ghiaccio) in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy. The same venue that hosted curling in the 1956 Winter Games.
Updated February 21, 2026 – Day 15: Curling medal games complete except women’s gold (Feb 22). Canada claims men’s gold amid controversy rebound; Canada women’s bronze (first podium since 2014); USA women’s fourth place after semis loss. Mixed doubles: Sweden gold, USA historic silver.

Controversy Watch
Curling Controversy: Double-Touch Accusations Against Canada’s Men’s Team
A heated rules dispute has dominated headlines:
- Friday (Feb 13): During Canada-Sweden match (Canada won 8-6), Sweden’s Oskar Eriksson accused Canada’s third Marc Kennedy of “double-touching” stones (touching granite after release, post-hog line – illegal; should be burned stone). Video appeared to show infractions. Kennedy denied intent, responded with profanity (“f*** off”), accused Sweden of “premeditated” attempt to catch them.
- Saturday (Feb 14): Switzerland raised similar concerns vs Canada (lost 9-5 to Switzerland).
- World Curling issued verbal warning to Canada (mainly for language), added extra officials/spot checks for remainder of Games (unusual in self-policed sport).
- Kennedy: “I’ve never done it deliberately… could have handled it better.” No formal penalties yet, but scrutiny continues.
This has overshadowed some play-integrity and etiquette central to curling debate.
