Canadian curlers will be able to compete in both mixed doubles and four\u002Dplayer teams at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Curling Canada announced changes to its mixed-doubles qualification process on Thursday.The doubles team will be determined 14 months in advance of the Games in Milan and Cortina, Italy, to give flexibility to curlers looking to qualify for multiple events.
The 2022 trials, which were cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions, would have finished a month before the start of the Beijing Games. Morris had to find a new partner when mixed doubles made its debut at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games because Homan qualified to represent Canada in the women’s event. Morris teamed with Kaitlyn Lawes to win gold.
“For those athletes who choose, in consultation with their respective teams and coaches, to play in both disciplines, this schedule gives them better opportunities for success in both events,” Curling Canada high-performance director David Murdoch said in a statement. “Making these changes creates a much better and more manageable schedule for athletes and coaches.
