Olympic Curling Betting Odds For Beijing 2022

What Events Makeup Curling at the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games?

While the curling consisted of only two events in the past, we will see a third at Beijing 2022 after its debut in 2018. With curling overall making its debut at the Nagano 1998 Olympic Winter Games, the sport is still growing with rules changing.

Mixed Doubles Curling

After its inaugural launch at Beijing 2022, the mixed doubled curling event sets teams of one male and one female player. Before a game begins, teams will be given 22 minutes to strategize. Each individual game is scheduled for 8 ends, with teams delivering 5 stones per end. Two stones are to be placed at the playing end of the curling sheet before the start of an end.

What Are The Rules For Olympic Curling?

The men’s and women’s teams, which each consist of four players and an alternate, play the game on a large sheet that measures about 150 feet long by 15 feet wide. On the ice pebbled sheet, you will find targets that the teams will aim to throw their stone into. Typically, stones are thrown in the order of lead, second, third (also called vice skip), and skip. Brushes or brooms can be used to guide the stone to its target. One game has 10 rounds where each player ends up throwing the stone eight times, and this typically lasts for 2 hours and 40 minutes.

In the new mixed doubles event, there will be two-player teams with 8 total ends. In both instances, the players must take turns moving the stones and aim to get theirs closest to the center of their house. Each house consists of four concentric circles. Points are delivered to the team with their stone closest to the center of the target at the conclusion of an end.
