how long has curling been in the olympics

Curling has been part of the Winter Olympics in two main phases: it first appeared at the inaugural Winter Games in 1924, then returned as a full medal sport in 1998 and has been included in every Winter Olympics since.

Quick Scoop: Timeline

• 1924: Curling is played at the first Winter Olympics in Chamonix, France; the event is now officially recognized as a full Olympic medal competition.

• 1932, 1988, 1992: Curling features only as a demonstration sport, so medals from these years do not count as official Olympic medals.

• 1998: Curling becomes an official full medal sport again at the Nagano Winter Olympics.

• 1998–today: Curling has appeared at every Winter Olympics since Nagano, with separate men’s, women’s, and later mixed doubles events.

So, if you’re thinking “continuous modern era,” curling has been in the Olympics since 1998; if you include the early appearance, its Olympic story stretches back to 1924.
