Canada curling cheating controversy sparks NSFW argument at Olympics originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Curling isn't necessarily the sport you think of as far as controversy and cheating and shouting and swearing.
But then there was Canada's men's curling match against Sweden on Friday in the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Sweden's captain appeared to think a Canada shooter was double-touching some stones, according to The Grand Slam of Curling.
The Swedish skip, Niklas Edin, was seen speaking with the officials between the second and third end.
"Can you touch the granite at any point, though, during delivery?" Edin asked.

Canada's Ben Herbert then came up to the officials and seemed to suggest he thought Sweden was doing the same thing.
Late in the match, Sweden brought the same accusations back out.
It appeared they were accusing Marc Kennedy of Canada.
Kennedy replied, "I haven't done it once. You can f--- off."

He then argued that Sweden had been doing dishonorable stuff, too: "How about you walking around on my peel last end, dancing around in the house here? How about that? Come on Oskar (Eriksson), just f--- off."
In the end, Canada got the win, 8-6.
The Canadian men are 3-0 at the Olympics now.
And apparently they've got some spunk and don't mind a little spat, either.
