Women's curling explained

Women's curling is the participation of women in the sport of curling. In casual play and at tournaments, women may participate in mixed curling competitions with men or in a separate women's competition. Women have competed at the World Curling Championships since 1973. Women competed in the official Olympic debut of curling at the 1998 games in Nagano and in every Winter Olympic Games since.

Notable reoccurring women-specific curling competitions include the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Canada, Norwegian Women's Curling Championship, the New Year Curling in Miyota in Japan, and Grasshopper Women's Masters in Switzerland, among others.
