Cortina d’Ampezzo

The mixed doubles curling event at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, starts its round-robin play on Wednesday, becoming the first sport underway before the opening ceremonies on Friday. With a highly competitive field featuring experienced international medalists, the discipline promises unpredictability due to its fast pace and limited prior matchups among teams. South Korea's pair opens the curling competition as one of the nations with significant season play.
