Olympic Curling has been part of the Winter Olympic Games since 1924, though it became a permanent fixture in 1998. This precision sport involves teams sliding stones on ice towards a target, aiming to score the most points by the end of the game. It combines skill, strategy, and teamwork, making it a unique and captivating Olympic event.

Over the past 20-30 years, Olympic Curling has featured some memorable moments. At Nagano 1998, Curling reappeared as an official Winter Olympic sport, with Switzerland winning the men's gold and Canada taking the women's gold. The Salt Lake City 2002 Games saw Norway clinch the men’s gold, while Great Britain’s women’s team, led by Rhona Martin, won with her famous "Stone of Destiny." Turin 2006 marked the beginning of Sweden’s dominance in women’s curling, with Sweden winning the gold and Canada taking the men’s gold. Vancouver 2010 was a standout for Canada, as both their men’s and women’s teams won gold on home soil, with Kevin Martin’s team going undefeated. The Sochi 2014 Games continued Canada’s success, as they won both the men’s and women’s gold medals, a feat unmatched in consecutive Olympics. 

In PyeongChang 2018, the USA men’s team, led by John Shuster, won their first-ever gold, while Sweden’s women’s team claimed gold. The Beijing 2022 Olympic featured Sweden’s men’s team winning gold and Great Britain’s women’s team also taking the top prize. Canada has a storied history in curling, with a tradition of excellence and multiple Olympic medals. Sweden has become a dominant force, especially in women’s curling, while Great Britain has consistently been competitive in both men’s and women’s events. Switzerland is another strong performer, contributing to the sport’s high level of competition.
