Overview
- World Curling reviewed Sweden–Canada and reported no violations, while issuing Canada a verbal warning over on‑ice profanity.
- Officials reiterated that retouching the handle before the hog line is permitted, but any handle contact after the line or touching the granite in forward motion removes the stone.
- New oversight now places two umpires rotating among sheets to watch deliveries, with no in‑game video review and umpire calls remaining final.
- In the women’s event, an official removed Rachel Homan’s stone for a judged post‑release touch against Switzerland; Homan strongly disputed the call.
- Canada alleged Swedish media filmed at the hog line outside normal practice, whereas Sweden and Olympic Broadcasting Services said OBS did not produce the circulated clip and accredited media may film in venues.
