Curling was a demonstration sport at the 1932 Games , and then again after a lengthy absence in 1988 and 1992 . The sport was finally added to the official program for the 1998 Nagano Games . Until 2018 , men 's and women 's events were contested . An additional event , mixed doubles , was rejected for 2010 because the Olympic Programme Commission felt it had not developed enough , but was approved for the 2018 Winter Olympics at an IOC Executive Board meeting in June 2015 . Since the 1998 Olympics , Canada has generally dominated the sport with their men 's teams winning gold in 2006 , 2010 , and 2014 , and silver in 1998 and 2002 . The women 's team won gold in 1998 and 2014 , a silver in 2010 , and a bronze in 2002 and 2006 . Their mixed doubles team won gold in 2018 . The related ice stock sport ( Eisstockschießen in German ) was a demonstration event in 1936 and 1964 . These events are not considered additional demonstrations of curling .
