2022 U.S. OLYMPIC TEAM TRIALS FOR MIXED DOUBLES CURLING COVERAGE
On Oct. 26-31, 2021, 10 mixed doubles curling teams will compete at the Olympic Trials in Eveleth, Minn., where the winner will advance to represent the United States at the Olympic Qualification Event in December. If the winning team qualifies the United States for mixed doubles curling by finishing top two at the Olympic Qualification Event, they will then represent the United States at the 2022 Games.
“Coverage of curling events is hugely important to the reach and growth of our sport,” said USA Curling CEO Jeff Plush. “We’re thrilled to be able to deliver Trials to curling fans across the country.”
Every round robin game on Sheet C will be streamed to NBCOlympics.com and the NBC Sports App. The page playoff and final will be broadcasted to the NBC Sports Network and the semifinals will be broadcasted to the Olympic Channel.
“On behalf of USA Curling, thank you to the generous donors who value the growth of our sport and have made this coverage a reality,” added Plush. “We look forward to delivering a great event to those cheering in person and from afar.”
