The 2026 Olympics in Italy kick off with mixed-doubles curling on Wednesday, highlighting the sport’s long history and strategic gameplay. Originating in Scotland in the 16th century, curling has evolved into an Olympic sport since 1924, where teams slide stones across ice towards a target called the “house” to score points based on proximity to the center.
