This meant that those first Olympic medals in curling, that was at the time played outside, were awarded for the 1924 Winter Games, with the gold medal awarded by Great Britain, two silver medals awarded by Sweden, and the bronze being awarded to France. The demonstration tournament was held during the 1932 Winter Olympic Games between four teams from Canada and four teams from the United States, with Canada winning 12 games to 4.
Since the sport’s official addition to the sport in 1998’s Olympics, Canada has dominated the sport with their men’s teams winning gold medals in 2006, 2010, and 2014 as well as silver in 2002 and 1998.
