Curling games are scheduled to take place each day during the Olympics, between the 2nd and 20th of February at the Beijing National Aquatics Center. The teams of the United States and Sweden are the defending champions in the men's and women's events. But the 2022 Olympic Curling predictions mention Great-Britain and Canada in the top favorites now. This will be the eighth time that curling appears in the Olympic program with the latest event, the mixed doubles competition being held for the second time. 10 teams will compete for the gold medal in both the men's and women's events. First in a round-robin preliminary round with the top four teams advancing to the medal round. The US team won the gold in the men's competition four years ago for the first time in their history. But Canada has been the most successful nation in the sport with three Olympic titles. In the women's event, Sweden is the defending champion after winning its third title in Pyeongchang. Their team is in the biggest favorites again along with the Canadian and British teams.

2022 Olympic Curling Predictions For The Men's Event

Great Britain won the first Olympic gold medal in curling back in 1924 during the first Winter Olympics. But after that the sport was dropped from the program. Until 1998 when it appeared again and has been an Olympic sport ever since. The British men's team couldn't get any medal in the modern era, except for a silver in Sochi. Now online sportsbooks in Sweden offer the smallest odds, 2.81 for their victory. The reason is simple, the Scottish team, whose members will represent Great Britain in Beijing won the last major tournament, the 2021 European Championships in Norway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSyd2bH8z0Y They managed to defeat the Swedish team in the final, who can take revenge now at the Olympics. Sweden finished as the runner-up at the previous Games, and won their second silver medal in Pyeongchang. They also won the 2021 World Championships with the lead of five-time world champion Niklas Edin. The 2022 Olympic Curling predictions now offer the odds of 4.04 for their win. But the Canadian team can also get the gold for the fourth time after a slightly disappointing fourth-place finish in the previous Olympics. Their team is full of former Olympic champions like skip Brad Gushue and third Mark Nichols. As the most successful team of curling's Olympic history, their odds to win again are 3.02.

Same Teams Can Fight For The Gold In The Women's Competition

The Swedish team is the defending champion in the women's event after defeating the South Korean team in the 2018 final. It was Sweden's third Olympic gold medal besides a silver and a bronze medal. No surprise that they are the biggest favorites to win again with the odds of 3.76. In spite of finishing only fourth place in the previous world championship last year. But having some of the biggest stars of the sport like Anna Hasselborg can be a key factor in their next success. Online gambling sites in Sweden offer the same odds for the big rival, Canada to get the gold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzOzGpv79_0 Their team follows Sweden in the overall Olympic medal table closely with two gold, one silver and two bronze medals. The Canadian team only finished sixth four years ago and in the last world championship in 2021. But we can also find former Olympic champions in their team. Like Dawn McEwen and Kaitlyn Lawes who also won the mixed doubled gold in 2018. The Scottish women team just like the men won the 2021 European Championship. They will fight for the second British Olympic gold medal in the event with the odds of 4.50 to get it. We also have to mention the current world champions, Switzerland who finished twice as a runner-up in the Olympic finals. Now their odds to win the gold are 8.50 on 22Bet.
