World Curling says official protocol was followed after a complaint about double-touching the stone was made in a men’s curling game between Canada and Sweden on Friday. The game, an 8-6 victory for Canada’s Brad Jacobs over Sweden’s Niklas Edin, has received much attention after profane language was broadcast via player microphones.
World Curling says umpires had received a complaint about second touches of the stone during delivery. Officials then spoke with both teams and set game umpires at the hog line to monitor deliveries for three ends, but found no violations or retouches of the stone.
As players cleared rocks after the ninth end, Canadian vice Marc Kennedy bristled at an accusation by Sweden’s Oskar Eriksson that some Canadian players were touching the stone a second time after releasing the handle during the game. Clips of Kennedy lobbing F-bombs at Eriksson have since gone viral.
The Canadian men were scheduled to return to the ice Saturday afternoon against Switzerland’s Yannick Schwaller.
