Chongqing- Curling is among the most eye-catching of events to have graced the Beijing Winter Olympics this year. This battle of skill and tactical prowess originated from Scotland in the 16th century, making it one of the oldest team sports in the world!
Many people will remember the unmistakable 'Water Cube' structure from the Beijing Olympics in 2008. This cool landmark known as the National Aquatics Center is still in use today and was repurposed especially for this edition of the Winter Olympics.
Curling first appeared in the inaugural Winter Olympics back in 1924. The mixed doubles were added nearly a century later in 2018, and the most successful team so far has been Canada, with a total of 12 medals, including six golds!
