How to qualify for the 2022 Beijing Olympics in curling
The Olympic women's and men's curling fields start with the six highest-ranked teams from the respective 2021 world championships, according to World Curling. China, as the host nation, will automatically qualify even if it isn't ranked in the top six. The mixed doubles field will start with the seven highest-rated teams.
There will be qualification events to add two, three or four teams to each field — depending on whether China ends up ranked in the top six. Teams that qualified for the 2020 or 2021 world championships, the two highest-rated teams in the World Curling Federation Pre-Qualifier Event — the three highest for mixed doubles — or the host nation of the 2021 qualifying event will get to compete in the qualification events.
Canada has already qualified for the Olympics in all three competitions: women's, men's and mixed doubles.
