Sweden accuses Canada of cheating in men's curling match at Olympics
The Canadian men's curling team closed out a successful 2-0 day at the 2026 Winter Olympics with a narrow win over Sweden.
But before a winner could be crowned in Cortina d'Ampezzo, there were tensions between the two teams.
Following the ninth end, Canada and Sweden broke out into a heated verbal confrontation on the ice at the Cortina Curling Olympic Stadium. The incident was sparked by Sweden’s Oskar Eriksson claiming Canada's Marc Kennedy double-touched his rock after releasing it before the hog line.
"Apparently it’s OK touching the rock after the hog line," Eriksson said while clearing the house, according to the Toronto Star. Per the Star, Eriksson's comments were immediately answered by responses of "who?" "I haven’t done it once" and "Don’t chirp" by Kennedy.
