The curling competitions at the 2022 Winter Olympics are scheduled to be held at the Beijing National Aquatics Center which is one of the Olympic Green venues. Curling competitions are scheduled to be contested every single day of the games, from February 2nd through the 20th.[1] This will be the eighth time that curling is on the Olympic program.

In each of the men's, women's and mixed doubles competitions, ten nations will compete. The mixed doubles curling competition will be expanded for its second appearance in the Olympics.[2] A total of 120 quota spots (60 per gender) were distributed to the sport of curling, an increase of four from the 2018 Winter Olympics.[3]

Qualification[edit]

Main article: Curling at the 2022 Winter Olympics – Qualification

Qualification to the Men's and Women's curling tournaments at the Winter Olympics will be determined through two methods (in addition to the host nation). Nations qualified teams by placing in the top six at the 2021 World Curling Championships. Teams can also qualify through Olympic qualification events which will be held in 2021. Six nations will qualify teams via World Championship qualification placement, while three nations will qualify through qualification events. In men's and women's play a host will be selected for the Olympic Qualification Event (OQE). They will be joined by the teams which competed at the 2021 World Championships but did not qualify to the Olympics, and two qualifiers from the Pre-Olympic Qualification Event (Pre-OQE). The Pre-OQE will be open to all member associations.[4]

For the mixed doubles competition in 2022, the tournament field will be expanded from eight competitor nations to ten.[2] The top seven ranked teams at the 2021 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship will qualify along with two qualifiers from the Olympic Qualification Event (OQE) – Mixed Doubles. This OQE will be open to a nominated host and the fifteen nations with the highest qualification points not already qualified to the Olympics. As the host nation, China qualified teams automatically, thus making a total of ten teams per event in the curling tournaments.[5]

Competition schedule[edit]

Participating nations[edit]

A total of 114 athletes from 14 nations (including the IOC's designation of ROC) are scheduled to participate (the numbers of athletes are shown in parentheses). Some curlers competed in both the 4-person and mixed doubles tournament, therefore the numbers included on this list are the total athletes sent by each NOC to the Olympics, not how many athletes they qualified. Both Australia and the Czech Republic made their Olympic sport debuts.[6]
