The curling event at the 1924 Winter Olympics was contested only by men. It was the first curling event in Olympic history.
In February 2006, a few days before the start of the 2006 Winter Olympics, the International Olympic Committee ruled that the curling medals were part of the official Olympic programme in 1924, and not a demonstration event as many authoritative sources had previously claimed - the IOC itself had never done so.
This official confirmation was the culmination of an investigative campaign begun by the Glasgow-based newspaper The Herald,[1] on behalf of the families of the eight British contestants who won the first curling gold medals. The winning team had been selected by the Royal Caledonian Curling Club, Perth.
