« 2018

The first international curling tournament to be hosted by the Netherlands,[1] the event was the final qualifier for curling at the 2022 Winter Olympics, and was established as part of changes to the qualification process necessitated due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] The tournament was played between the men's, women's, and mixed doubles teams that qualified for the 2020 or 2021 World Curling Championships, but had yet to qualify for the Olympics, joined by additional teams who qualified through a pre-qualification tournament in November.[2]

The top three National Olympic Committees (NOCs) in the men's and women's tournaments, and the top two NOCs in the mixed doubles tournament, advanced to the Olympic curling tournament. Denmark, Italy, and Norway qualified to the men's tournament. Great Britain, Japan, and South Korea qualified to the women's tournament, while Australia and the United States qualified in mixed doubles.

Sponsorship controversy edit

Live streaming of the mixed doubles event was cancelled by some international broadcasters, including NBC and NHK,[3] due to the sponsorship of a Dutch sex toy store, EasyToys, whose logo appeared on the ice.[4] Following the mixed doubles event, the ads were replaced with the statement "#equalityforall" for the women's and men's events.[5]
