Which country won men's curling gold at the 2006 Winter Olympics? Canada won the men’s curling gold medal.
The Canadian rink was led by Brad Gushue, with Mark Nichols, Russ Howard, Jamie Korab and alternate Mike Adam. Canada defeated Finland in the final at Turin, giving the country its first Olympic medal in men’s curling. Switzerland won bronze after the playoff rounds.
Although Howard was officially designated the skip under World Curling Federation rules, Gushue delivered the final stones and was widely regarded as the team’s leader. The victory was especially notable for Newfoundland and Labrador: the rink became the first Olympic gold-medal team from that province. Norway, one of the answer choices, did not win the men’s event in 2006, though its curling teams have become strongly associated with later Olympic Games.
