During a men's curling match at the Winter Olympics in Cortina, tensions escalated between Canada and Sweden, involving accusations of rule violations, heated exchanges, and profanity. Sweden's team, led by Niklas Edin, accused Canadian curlers of double-touching stones, which led to official monitoring and heated verbal confrontations. Canadian skip Marc Kennedy denied the accusations, emphasizing his 25 years of professional experience and stating, 'I told him where to stick it.' The controversy intensified when Kennedy was accused of touching the stone after release, with replays suggesting he used his finger to contact the stone near the hog line, which is against rules. Despite the disputes, no violations were officially confirmed by officials. The match concluded with Canada winning 8-6, but the incident highlighted the tense atmosphere and the challenges of maintaining sportsmanship in high-stakes Olympic competition.
