Sweden keeps curling pressure on Canada with 2026 Olympic double-touch allegations

Sweden’s Oskar Eriksson publicly accused Canada’s Marc Kennedy of cheating by double-touching a curling stone during the 2026 Winter Olympics, a claim Kennedy denies; Swiss teammates joined the accusations. The World Curling Board said it does not use video replay to overturn calls and noted a rule change allowing a second touch after release, as Canada advances to a gold-medal matchup against Great Britain.
