Here is an updated look at the standings, results and schedule for men's curling at the 2026 Winter Games.

A viral curling controversy at the 2026 Winter Olympics has Team Canada and Team Sweden at odds over "double-touching" accusations.

A controversy brewed on Friday when Sweden’s men’s curling team accused Canada’s Marc Kennedy of breaking rules for how he was throwing the rock down the ice. But what are those rules? And what are the Canadians being accused of?

If confronted in the heat of competition, an athlete may genuinely believe no violation occurred. Add identity to the equation – “I am a clean competitor” – and denial becomes a psychological defence rather than deception. Under Olympic pressure, the nervous system prioritizes protection over reflection.

It hosted Olympic hockey in 1956 and James Bond a quarter-century later. Cortina’s beloved Olympic Stadium is now bursting with excitement for curling.

Once again, curling at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics will consist of three events: mixed doubles, men’s, and women’s, which will take place over 19 days of competition. The round-robin competition will start a few days before the actual opening ceremony, when the first mixed-doubles match takes place on Wednesday, February 4.
