Program 2017/18

Following the Ice-Tech Course in Fuessen, Germany, our series of camps and courses has moved onto the Introduction to Instruction course and the Basic Umpire course this week. Traditionally, both of these courses have been held through in-person workshops where participants travel to one location in order to take part.

The World Curling Federation Ice-Tech Course kicked off our series of summer camps and courses this week in Fuessen, Germany. We chatted with two of the best ice makers in the world – Mark Callan and Stefan Roethlisberger – who made the ice for the PyeongChang Olympic Winter Games and Paralympic Winter Games respectfully.

Milan-Cortina, Italy, will host the 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. The decision was taken on Monday (24 June) during the 134th Session of the International Olympic Committee in Lausanne, Switzerland. The other candidate in the ballot was Stockholm-Are, Sweden. The Olympics will take place from 6 to 22 February and the Paralympics will be held from 6 to 15 March.

The World Curling Federation has been forced into the difficult decision to suspend the Curling World Cup in season 2019-2020. Earlier this year Kingdomway Sports, the funding partner for the series, breached the agreement by refusing to make all payments as outlined in the contract.

The LGT World Women's Curling Championship 2021 will be held in the ice arena at the KSS sports complex in Schaffhausen, Switzerland from Saturday 20 to Sunday 28 March. This event will be the final world women's championship before the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing, China, therefore, vital Olympic points will be on offer to the competing Member Associations.
