The 2024 Mixed Doubles Prague Trophy was held from April 4 to 7 at the Curling Arena Prague in Prague, Czech Republic.[1] The event was held in a round robin format with a purse of € 3,350.[2] Many international teams competed in the event as it was held two weeks before the 2024 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship which was played in Östersund, Sweden.[3]
China's Han Yu and Zou Qiang went undefeated to win the event, defeating Germany's Emira Abbes and Klaudius Harsch 8–5 in the championship game.[1] After taking three in the first end, the Chinese rink scored four in the fourth end to take an 8–1 lead which the Germans did not recover from. To reach the championship game, Han and Zou won all five of their preliminary round matches, being the only team to do so. They then defeated Estonia's Marie Kaldvee and Harri Lill 7–5 in the quarterfinals and won 6–4 over Denmark's Jasmin Lander and Henrik Holtermann in the semifinals. For Abbes and Harsch, they qualified for the playoffs as the eighth and final seeds with a 4–1 record. They then scored a 9–8 upset win over top seeds Yang Ying and Tian Jiafeng of China in the quarterfinals before going on to beat Australia's Tahli Gill and Dean Hewitt in the semifinals. Turkey's Dilşat Yıldız and Bilal Ömer Çakır and Czech Republic's Zuzana Paulová and Tomáš Paul rounded out the playoff teams.
In the third place game, Lander and Holtermann won 8–3 over Gill and Hewitt.[1]
