The 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics began competition with mixed doubles curling in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, only for a power outage to halt play shortly after the start. The brief disruption lasted about three to five minutes, dimming lights and stopping scoreboards across four matches. Play resumed amid cheers from fans, as teams including Canada and Sweden secured opening wins.
In wheelchair curling at the 2026 Winter Paralympics in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, athletes forgo the sweeping technique used in Olympic curling, relying instead on exact throws with a long stick. This absence makes the sport more demanding, as shots cannot be adjusted mid-travel. Competitors from nations like Great Britain, the United States, Italy, and China highlight the mental and technical challenges through their experiences.
