Canada's men's curling team secured gold at the 2026 Winter Olympics by defeating Great Britain 9-6 in the final on February 21 in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. The victory came after a round-robin scandal where Swedish curler Oskar Eriksson accused Canadian vice-skip Marc Kennedy of double-touching stones past the hog line. World Curling issued a warning to Kennedy for inappropriate language but upheld the self-policing rules of the sport.
