Overview
- Officials removed a Great Britain stone for a post-release touch in the ninth end against Germany on Sunday, and Britain won 9-4.
- The scrutiny followed Canada–Sweden men’s tensions, where Oskar Eriksson alleged a “double touch” by Marc Kennedy, who was verbally warned for profanity after denying any infraction.
- During that match an official monitored Canada from the hog line for three ends with no violations recorded.
- World Curling has added two roaming officials to watch deliveries, says it cannot cover every hog line, and confirms there is no video review and in-game calls are final.
- Broadcasters’ replays of the Canadian shot looked suggestive but not conclusive, and athletes are divided over introducing replay technology.
