Curling-søskende Isabella og Rasmus Wranå gav Sverige en perfekt start til OL i Cortina, Italien, med sejr over Sydkorea. Kampen begyndte med Isabella i rampelyset for hendes første kast, men blev kortvarigt afbrudt af et strømafbrydelse i arenaen. Trods kaoset sluttede den 10–3.

I den italienske bjerglandsby Cortina d'Ampezzo, værtssted for curlingbegivenhederne ved OL på ski 2026, smed den svenske skip Isabella Wranå den aller første curlingsten i mixed doubles-turneringen. Øjeblikket satte hende i rampelyset og markerede Sveriges officielle OL-start. Minutter senere gik lysene ud i dele af arenaen – et overraskende strømafbrydelse, der skabte forvirring. «Man må bare tage det, som det kommer. Der er intet, vi kan gøre ved det,» sagde Rasmus Wranå, Isabellas ældre bror og holdkammerat, til SVT om de bizarre scener. Strømmen kom hurtigt tilbage, og kampen mod Sydkorea blev genoptaget. Sverige dominerede og ledte klart efter seks ender. Dommeren valgte så at afslutte kampen tidligt 10–3, på trods af at Sydkorea teoretisk kunne vende underskuddet. Spillerne var overraskede over beslutningen. «Det var lidt mærkeligt. De havde måske opgivet uanset. Det gjorde ikke stor forskel i dette tilfælde,» kommenterede Rasmus Wranå. Sejren giver Sverige en stærk åbning i turneringen, med Wranå-søsknende der nu ser frem til næste kamp.
