At the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, curling's nonstop competition has left athletes physically and mentally drained after 147 matches crammed into 18 days. Canadian curler Brad Jacobs described the event as the hardest on the planet, amid a demanding round-robin format that began before the opening ceremony. Players like Switzerland's Yannick Schwaller look forward to post-Games rest despite upcoming national competitions.
