A broadcast accident occurred in which the abusive language uttered by British female curlers during the match against South Korea was broadcasted. The BBC, a British public broadcaster, immediately apologized.
Britain's "The Sun" reported on the 13th (local time) that the BBC's leadership was in a difficult situation due to abusive language heard during a women's curling broadcast.
The media said, "The accident occurred during the Olympic qualifying match against South Korea by the British women's curling team (Sophie Jackson, Jennifer Dodds, Sophie Sinclair). "As the defeat grew as they were dragged by the Korean team throughout the game, the expletives uttered by the British players on the link expressing frustration were broadcasted through the broadcast microphone."
The Korean women's curling team, consisting of skip Kim Eun-ji, third Kim Min-ji, second Kim Soo-ji, lead Seol Ye-eun and Phipps Seol Ye-ji, won 9-3 against Britain in the third round robin of the women's curling round at the 2026 Milan-Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics Stadium in Cortina D'Ampezzo, Italy on the 13th.
BBC's chief commentator Steve Cram, who was broadcasting at the time, immediately apologized on live television when expletives of British players came out during the match. Cram said, "I heard the players speaking out in frustration. If you heard (inappropriate words), I apologize," he said, settling the situation.
In this tournament, the British team is struggling to hunt for medals at the beginning of the tournament. In the mixed double (mixed) bronze medal match, they lost to host Italy 3-5. The British men's curling team also swallowed its disappointment with a 7-9 loss to Italy.
The media said, "The UK continues its difficult challenge to win its first medal in the competition due to a series of negative factors and sluggishness in major events such as curling and skiing."
