After a winter weather delay, the women’s Olympic team curling round robin got underway with playoff implications for three of the four sheets. The results were thrilling for the loud and boisterous crowd at the Cortina Olympic Curling Stadium.

Great Britain’s men scraped into the curling semi-finals on Thursday to keep their medal hopes alive, but the women fell agonisingly short after the curling round robin stage at the Winter Olympics 2026.

After snapping a 24-year drought, Team USA women’s curling is one step away from making Winter Olympics history.

The U.S. men's curling team suffered two losses to China and Italy in round-robin play on Tuesday, hurting their hopes for a semifinal spot.

By the end of the Milan Cortina Olympics, there will have been a total of 147 curling matches crammed into 18 days.

"Milan has been very nice, and the people have been very hospitable. I'm walking everywhere, some people recognize me as the world's greatest curler, and some people have no idea who I am," said Shaq, laughing. When asked which winter sport he would compete in, the Big Diesel had two picks in mind.
