The 2021 World Men's Curling Championship (branded as the 2021 BKT Tires & OK Tire World Men's Curling Championship for sponsorship reasons)[1] was held from April 2 to 11 at the Markin MacPhail Centre at Canada Olympic Park in Calgary , Canada . The event was originally to be held in Ottawa ,[2] but due to the COVID-19 pandemic , the championship was moved to Calgary.[3] The event was held in a bio-secure bubble at Canada Olympic Park, which also hosted all major Curling Canada championships leading up to the Worlds (including the 2021 Tim Hortons Brier , which determined Canada's entrant). All events were held behind closed doors with no spectators.[4] [5]
The 2021 championship fielded the largest number of teams in the history of the event, with thirteen teams total representing their home countries and one team representing the Russian Curling Federation (RCF). The RCF team could not represent Russia as a result of a decision by the Court of Arbitration of Sport in 2020, which banned Russia from any world championships and Olympic games for a two-year period, with restrictions on the Russian flag, name, or uniform prescribed in the decision.[6] The World Curling Federation, in response, required that the "Russian Curlng Federation" could only be designated by the acronym "RCF" throughout the championship.[7]
This was the first event to start the 2022 Winter Olympic Qualification process. Six National Olympic Committees represented by their competing teams each qualified directly to enter a men's team for the 2022 Olympics . Thus, in order of the final standings, the qualifying committees represented Sweden , Scotland , Switzerland , the RCF , the United States , and Canada . Had the Chinese team finished among the top six teams, then the direct qualifications would not have expanded to the seventh placing team.[8] All teams that qualified for this event but did not directly qualify for the Olympics through placement were guaranteed a spot at the 2022 Olympic Qualification event .[9]
Niklas Edin , skip of Team Sweden, and his third, Oskar Eriksson , won a record fifth career World Championship. The team, which also consisted of Rasmus Wranå and Christoffer Sundgren , won a record third straight championship. They defeated Team Scotland, skipped by Bruce Mouat in the final, 10–5. With the game tied at 5 in the 9th end, Edin made a double take out with the last rock of the end to score five.[10] Down by 5 with just one end to go, Team Scotland then conceded the game. Switzerland, skipped by Peter de Cruz , won the bronze medal.[11]
Positive COVID-19 tests [ edit ]
On April 9, the World Curling Federation announced that a positive COVID-19 test had been recorded by a player on a non-playoff team, and that the second qualification match between the United States and Switzerland would be therefore be postponed.[12] The World Curling Federation postponed all games scheduled for April 10 due to additional positive tests involving a member of a playoff team.[13] There were three initial positives from players on non-playoff teams who were tested as part of the exit protocols, and four close contacts were also identified.[14] [15]
On April 11, following approval by Alberta Health Services (AHS), the World Curling Federation announced that play would resume, with all remaining games being played throughout the day. One playoff team member who had been fully vaccinated initially tested positive, but later tested negative and was cleared to participate in the playoffs.[16] [13] Enhanced biosecurity protocols were mandated for the remainder of the tournament, including additional tests before and after each game, and requiring masks to be worn on-ice.[17] Canadian broadcaster TSN pulled its camera crew for the U.S./Switzerland match, and announced that the game would not be televised due to unspecified "COVID-19 issues"; the game was still broadcast via the WCF host feed.[17]
On April 12, all four tests were deemed false positives following an extensive review by health authorities.[18] Team USA third Christopher Plys announced on Twitter that he was the playoff-bound curler who had tested positive.[19]
Qualification [ edit ]
The following nations qualified to participate in the 2021 World Men's Curling Championship:[20] [21]
Pursuant to a December 2020 ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport , Russia is prohibited from competing under its flag or any national symbols at any Olympic Games or world championships through December 16, 2022, and must compete neutrally.[22] The World Curling Federation is listing the Russian team as the abbreviation "RCF" for the Russian Curling Federation.[23]
