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.
The BBC will offer more than 450 hours of live coverage of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics across television, radio, and digital platforms. From February 6 to 22, audiences can follow events on BBC One, BBC Two, iPlayer, and more, with dedicated streams and updates.
