Curling results from the 2014 Winter Olympics
Team Canada completed a clean sweep at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, winning gold in both the men's and women's tournament.
Men's: Gold: Canada, Silver: Great Britain, Bronze: Sweden.
Women's: Gold: Canada, Silver: Sweden, Bronze: Great Britain.
Medal contenders for the 2018 Winter Olympics
Kaitlyn Lawes and John Morris will look to keep Team Canada's gold medal streak going as the pair of former Olympic champions team up for the debut of the Mixed Doubles tournament. Lawes won gold as part of the women's team that went undefeated (11-0) in Sochi, while Morris helped the men's team top the podium on home ice at Vancouver 2010. The Winnipeg natives could face tough competition from the Swiss duo of Martin Rios and Jenny Perret, who took home the 2017 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship in April. The Chinese team of Ba Dexin and Wang Rui finished third at that event and took home the silver in 2016, making them another potential medal candidate in Pyeongchang.
Kevin Koe and his team of Marc Kennedy, Brent Laing, and Ben Hebert will look to win a fourth straight men's curling gold for Team Canada after sealing qualification with a dramatic win at the Canadian Curling Olympic Trials. The group has been playing together since the 2014-15 season and captured gold at the WCF World Championships in 2016. Koe and Laing will be making their first Olympic apperances, while Kennedy and Herbert return to the Games after winning gold at Vancouver 2010. While Canada has some new faces, Sweden returns the team that won bronze at Sochi 2014 and silver at the 2017 Ford World Men's Curling Championship last April. They will likely contend for a medal, as could Great Britain and Switzerland.
On the women's side, Rachel Homan skips a team that also has expectations of winning gold for Team Canada. Homan, Emma Miskew, Joanne Courtney, and Lisa Weagle solidified themselves as the favorites by going undefeated (13-0) en route to winning the 2017 World Women's Curling Championship in Beijing, China. They carried that momentum through the Canadian trials and look to deliver again in Pyeongchang. Great Britain will pose a threat in stopping them as the team skipped by Eve Muirhead returns after bringing home the bronze medal at Sochi 2014. Sweden, the silver medalists in Russia, will be a threat to top the podium after finishing third in March's CPT World Women's Curling Championship 2017.
