High Tatras Air Open, Tatranská Lomnica

Víťazom historického turnaja Gallo Team

Víťazom turnaja High Tatras Air Open v Tatranskej Lomnici sa stal Gallo team. Úradujúci slovenskí majstri pod vedením skipa Juraja Galla ako jediní zvíťazili vo všetkých štyroch zápasoch a zdvihli nad hlavu unikátnu trofej.

Turkey record first ever European A-Division win

In what was their first-ever appearance in the A-Division of the Le Gruyere AOP European Curling Championships, Turkey women recorded a historic win, with a 7-6 victory over Russia, the defending champion nation. This game was tight all the way but a score of three points by Turkey in the seventh end made all the difference.

Winning start for defending champions, Sweden

Defending champions Sweden opened their title defence with a 10-6 win over Austria in the opening session of men's round-robin play at the le Gruyere AOP European Curling Championships 2016, in St Gallen's Eissportzentrum Lercherfield, in Switzerland. This was a tight game most of the way and it was the Austrians who went into the half-time break with a lead, at 5-4.

VIDEO: Out of Frame with Team EunJung Kim (Korea)

The World Curling Federation's broadcasting arm, World Curling TV, spent some time with Team Korea's women's curlers at the Pacific-Asia Curling Championships 2017, in Erina, Australia and got a behind the scenes glimpse of life as part of the team.

International curling comes to St. Gallen

There are few nations as prestigious in the sport as Switzerland. Their women's team won the inaugural World Championships in 1979. The Swiss have won 16 world championships including six mixed doubles titles, where they are the most dominant country.

The stakes will be high at the Le GruyEre AOP European Curling Championships 2017

For many of the teams taking part, the Le GruyEre AOP European Curling Championships 2017 will either be a last championship warm-up for February's 2018 Olympic Winter Games or a final dress-rehearsal for December's Olympic Qualifying Event.
