Two curling tournaments were held at the 2010 Winter Olympics, a men's and women's tournament. The events were held at the Vancouver Olympic Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, from February 16 to February 27, 2010.http://www.vancouver2010.com/olympic-curling-schedule-results/

Each tournament featured 10 teams who began with a round-robin style series of draws. After all draws are completed, the top four teams in each tournament continued on to the playoffs, both held on February 25, 2010. The two winners in the playoff round competed for the gold and silver medals, while the other two teams competed for the bronze.http://www.vancouver2010.com/olympic-curling-schedule-results/

While curling was first seen at the Winter Olympics in 1924, it skipped the 1928 games, being playing in 1932 and then not again until 1998. Canada leads all nations in total medals, with two each gold, silver and bronze. In the 2006 games, Canada took home the gold in the men's tournament, followed by Finland and the United States. On the women's side, Sweden won the gold in 2006 with Switzerland and Canada winning the silver and bronze respectively.
