How many nations were involved in the curling events at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympics? Thirteen nations took part. Curling was held at the Gangneung Curling Centre from February 8 to 25, 2018, with men’s, women’s, and mixed-doubles competitions.
The number refers to nations represented across the curling program, not the number in one individual event. Ten nations competed in each traditional team tournament, while eight nations entered the mixed-doubles competition. Because some countries appeared in more than one event, adding the event totals would double-count them.
PyeongChang was notable because mixed doubles made its Olympic debut, expanding curling from two medal events to three. In mixed doubles, each team consists of one woman and one man, and games use fewer stones and a shorter format than the traditional team competitions. The United States won the men’s gold medal, while Canada won women’s and mixed-doubles gold.
