Qualification[edit]

Main article: Curling at the 2018 Winter Olympics – Qualification

Qualification to the curling tournaments at the Winter Olympics was determined through two methods. Nations could qualify teams by earning qualification points from performances at the 2016 and 2017 World Curling Championships. Teams could also qualify through an Olympic qualification event which was held in December 2017. Seven nations qualified teams via World Championship qualification points, while two nations qualified through the qualification event. As host nation, South Korea qualified teams automatically, thus making a total of ten teams per gender in the curling tournaments. For the mixed doubles competition the top seven ranked teams earning qualification points from performances at the 2016 and 2017 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship qualified along with hosts South Korea.^[3]

Competition schedule[edit]

Curling competitions started the day before the Opening Ceremony and finish on the last day of the games, meaning the sport was the only one to have a competition every day of the games.^[4] The following was the competition schedule for the curling competitions:

• Isabella Tobias and Ilia Tkachenko, who qualified an ice dance spot for Israel, were replaced by Tankova and Zilberberg because Tkachenko’s application for Israeli citizenship was denied.^[30]
• Alexander Majorov was unable to achieve the performance level required by the Swedish Olympic Committee; thus, the Committee gave up the corresponding quota for men’s singles.^[51]
• Ksenia Stolbova and Ivan Bukin were not invited to the 2018 Winter Olympics by the International Olympic Committee.^[52][53]
• The Olympic Committee of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea failed to submit paperwork on time and thus lost their pairs spot qualified by Ryom Tae-ok and Kim Ju-sik.

The tournament featured 12 countries, eight qualifying through the IIHF World Ranking, 3 through subsequent qualifying tournaments, and the host South Korea men’s national ice hockey team.^[7] The format were the same as 2010 and 2014; three groups of four competed in three games to determine seeding, each playing every other team in their group, followed by four rounds of elimination games. Each group winner received a bye into the second round, along with the highest ranked of the remaining teams. The remaining eight teams played an eliminating qualification game to advance to the quarter-final round. Each quarter-final winner advanced to the semi-finals with the winners playing for the gold medal and the losers playing for the bronze.^[8]

Qualification[edit]

Main article: Ice hockey at the 2018 Winter Olympics – Men’s qualification

Qualification was determined by the IIHF World Ranking following the 2015 Men’s World Ice Hockey Championships.^[8] The top eight teams in the World Ranking receive automatic berths into the Olympics, the host received an automatic berth, and the remaining teams competed to qualify for the remaining three spots. In April 2014 René Fasel indicated that the Koreans would need a ranking of 18th or better^[9] but in September of the same year the policy was apparently changed to guarantee the host a position.^[10]

On 3 April 2017, the National Hockey League announced that its players would not be made available for selection for the national teams in the 2018 Winter Olympics. While it was “open to hearing from any of the other parties who might have an interest in the issue”, the NHL “confirmed that it has no interest or intention of engaging in any discussion that might make Olympic participation more attractive to the Clubs” and that it would not schedule a break for the Olympics in the 2017–18 season; to compensate, the NHL scheduled its all-star game and league-wide bye week for January, a month before the Olympics.^[11] The primary disagreement between the NHL, IIHF, and IOC appears to have been over who would pay to insure players.^[12] The IOC agreed to insure the players for the 2014 Olympics at a cost of $14 million, but was unwilling to pay again.^[11] IOC appeared concerned that if it continued to cover the costs of NHL players, other professional bodies would demand similar treatment.^[13] NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman noted that the NHL does not directly profit from their presence in the Olympics and that the IOC’s ambush marketing rules make it difficult for the league to capitalize on its players’ participation, adding that, “in fact, we kind of disappear for two weeks because historically the IOC hasn’t even let us join in promoting our participation in the Olympics”.^[12]

The American Hockey League—a minor professional league that has largely acted as a development league for the NHL, stated that it would allow its players to be loaned to national teams for the duration of the Olympics (although like the NHL, there will not be a break in the season for the Games). CBC Sports reported that AHL players under two-way contracts with NHL affiliates would still be prohibited from attending, but deputy commissioner Bill Daly denied the claim.^[14][15] Two weeks later, Daly reversed that position and stated that AHL players on two-way contracts would indeed be prohibited from the Olympics.

Unlike NHL, vast majority of European leagues will accommodate an Olympic break, headlined by Russia-based KHL‘s 33-days break,^[16] Sweden-based Swedish Hockey League‘s 14-days break,^[17] Switzerland-based National League‘s 25-days break,^[18] German-based Deutsche Eishockey Liga‘s 26-days break,^[19] Czech Republic-based Extraliga‘s 18-days break and Slovakia-based Tipsport liga‘s 14-days break.^[20] Conversely, Finland-based SM-liiga will not accommodate a break, but will allow its top players leave the clubs and participate in the Olympics.^[21]

Women’s tournament[edit]

Main article: Ice hockey at the 2018 Winter Olympics – Women’s tournament

The women’s tournament will run from 10 to 22 February. Eight nations will compete. The format will be the same as 2014. The top 4 seeded teams play in group A and the next four in group B. The top two seeds from group A will receive a bye from the quarterfinal round. The bottom two group A teams will play the top two group B teams in the quarterfinal round. The winner of these two games will play the top two group A teams in the semifinal round. The winners of the semifinal round will play for the gold medal and the losers will play for the bronze.^[8]

Qualification[edit]

Main article: Ice hockey at the 2018 Winter Olympics – Women’s qualification

Qualification was determined by the IIHF World Ranking following the 2016 IIHF Women’s World Championship. The top five teams in the World Ranking receive automatic berths into the Olympics. South Korea gained direct entry by being host and all other teams competed to qualify for the remaining two spots.^[8]

Participating nations[edit]

A total of 496 athletes from 14 nations (including the IOC’s designation of Olympic Athletes from Russia) were scheduled to participate (the numbers of athletes are shown in parentheses). The IOC initially admitted 13 men’s or women’s teams to compete. Later, North Korean athletes were rostered to participate in the women’s tournament alongside South Korean athletes in a combined women’s Korean team. Men’s rosters can be made up of 25 players, while women’s rosters can consist of up to 23. The Czech, German, Norwegian, Slovakian, and Slovenian teams entered only the men’s competition, while the Japanese team alone entered only the women’s competition. All other teams played in both tournaments.
