The men's tournament of Curling 2018 during the 2018 Winter Olympics was held on 13-24 February 2018 in the Gangneung Curling Centre. With 10 teams competing, the event was won by the team from United States, with Sweden taking the silver medal and Switzerland taking bronze.

Format[]

The competition exists out of a single round-robin, each team playing another once, with standings based on win/loss-record. The top four ranked teams advance to the semifinals, with the winners advancing to the final. The winner of the final wins the event.

Preview[]

Ten teams qualified for the event, with Canada as one of the big favorites for the title. The nation had won a medal in every curling event in both genders since 1998 and was the defending champion in both the men's and women's curling events. The biggest competition was expected from the Sweden, the bronze medalist of Sochi and the top seed, and Great Britain, the silver medalist of four years prior. Norway was the only other country to have won a gold medal in the event, but that was back in 2002. Joe Polo and John Shuster had won a bronze medal in this event in 2006, but the American team had not performed well in the editions after. The other teams Denmark, Italy, Japan, and South Korea, and Switzerland could be considered outsiders for a medal in a competition that was otherwise wide open.
