Curling has been a medal sport in the [[Winter Olympic Games]] since the [[1998 Winter Olympics]]. It currently includes men's, women's, and [[Doubles curling|mixed doubles]] tournaments (the mixed doubles event was held for the first time in [[Curling at the 2018 Winter Olympics – Mixed doubles tournament|2018]]).<ref>{{cite web |title=Mixed Doubles curling confirmed for PyeongChang 2018 Olympics |url=http://www.worldcurling.org/mixed-doubles-curling-confirmed-for-pyeongchang-2018 |website=World Curling Federation |access-date=18 January 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180119001219/http://www.worldcurling.org/mixed-doubles-curling-confirmed-for-pyeongchang-2018 |archive-date=19 January 2018 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In February 2002, the [[International Olympic Committee]] retroactively decided that the curling competition from the [[1924 Winter Olympics]] (originally called ''Semaine des Sports d'Hiver'', or International Winter Sports Week) would be considered official Olympic events and no longer be considered demonstration events. Thus, the [[Curling at the 1924 Winter Olympics#Medals|first Olympic medals in curling]], which at the time was played outdoors, were retroactively awarded for the 1924 Winter Games, with the gold medal won by Great Britain, two silver medals by Sweden, and the bronze by France. A demonstration tournament was also held during the [[1932 Winter Olympic Games]] between four teams from Canada and four from the United States, with Canada winning 12 games to 4.<ref>{{cite web |title=III Winter Olympic Games, Lake Placid 1932, Official Report |editor-last=Lattimer |editor-first=George M. |year=1932 |pages=255–258 |url=http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/1932/1932w.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080410085042/http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/1932/1932w.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-date=10 April 2008 |access-date=14 August 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1932/02/06/archives/canadians-win-at-curling-beat-united-states-12-games-to-4-in.html |title=Canadians Win At Curling: Beat United States, 12 Games to 3, in Exhibition Series|work=The New York Times |date=6 February 1932 |at=Sports, p. 20 |access-date=13 August 2008 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110615060505/http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F20910F8355B13738DDDAF0894DA405B828FF1D3 |archive-date=15 June 2011}}</ref>
