The 2021 United States mixed doubles curling Olympic trials were held from October 26 to 31, 2021, at Curl Mesabi in Eveleth, Minnesota.[1] The trials featured ten teams played in a round robin tournament. After the round robin, the top four teams qualified for the page playoff.[2] The winner of this event will represent the United States at the Olympic Qualification Event in hopes of reaching the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China.[3]
The 2021 Trials were originally announced to be held in Irvine, California,[4] but less than a month before they were to begin, the decision was made to move them to Eveleth, Minnesota due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
