Curling was included in the program of the inauguralWinter Olympic Games in1924 inChamonix[1] although the results of that competition were not considered official by theInternational Olympic Committee until 2006. Curling was ademonstration sport at the1932 Games, and then again after a lengthy absence in1988 and1992. The sport was finally added to the official program for the1998 Games in Nagano.
Until 2018, only men's and women's events were contested. An additional event,mixed doubles, was rejected for2010 because the Olympic Programme Commission felt it had not developed enough,[2][3] but was approved for the2018 Winter Olympics at an IOC Executive Board meeting in June 2015.[4]
Since the 1998 Olympics, Canada has generally dominated the sport with their men's teams winning gold in 2006, 2010, and 2014, and silver in 1998 and 2002, and a bronze in 2022. The women's team won gold in 1998 and 2014, a silver in 2010, and a bronze in 2002 and 2006. Their mixed doubles team won gold in 2018.
The relatedice stock sport (Eisstockschießen in German) was a demonstration event in1936 and1964. These events are not considered additional demonstrations of curling.[5][6]
