The curling competition at the 2018 Winter Olympics is being held at the Gangneung Curling Centre[1]. This is the seventh time that curling is on the Olympic program. In each of the men's and women's competitions, ten nations will compete. As decided in 2015, a third competition, mixed doubles curling, has graduated from a spectator sport to a full medal competition. Teams consist of one woman and one man. There were eight participating countries in the mixed competition[2].
Competition schedule
Curling competitions started the day before the Opening Ceremony and finish on the last day of the games, meaning the sport is the only one to have a competition every day of the games.[3] The following is the competition schedule for the curling competitions:

Qualification
Qualification to the curling tournaments at the Winter Olympics will be determined through two methods. Nations can qualify teams by earning qualification points from performances at the 2016 and 2017 World Curling Championships. Teams may also qualify through an Olympic qualification event which was held in December 2017. Seven nations will qualify teams via World Championship qualification points, while two nations will qualify through the qualification event. As host nation, South Korea qualifies teams automatically, thus making a total of ten teams per gender in the curling tournaments. For the mixed doubles competition the top seven ranked teams earning qualification points from performances at the 2016 and 2017 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship will qualify along with hosts South Korea.[5]
Participating nations
Thirteen nations participated, with the number of athletes participating per nation in parentheses. Some athletes competed in both the 4-person and mixed doubles tournament, therefore the numbers included on this list are the total number of athletes sent by each NOC to the Olympics, not how many athletes they qualified.
