Canada was the winner of the men's curling gold medal at the 2026 Milan-Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics, but public opinion around the world froze because it was cold outside the ice. This is because the gold medal, which was recovered for the first time in 12 years since the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, was labeled "cheating."

According to Japan's Tokyo Sports on the 22nd, the level of criticism against the Canadian national team has gone beyond simple suspicions to the level of "human aggression terrorism." Immediately after winning the championship, Canada's curling team's official SNS account showed a series of photos of Mark Kennedy's alleged "double touch" along with the news of winning the gold medal.

The incident began against Sweden in the preliminary round. Canada's Mark Kennedy (44) is suspected of a so-called "double touch" that pushes Stone with his finger once more after pitching. At the scene, the Swedish team immediately protested and argued with each other. Since then, photos and videos of Kennedy's fingers touching Stone have spread rapidly on social media.

In the end, Canada, which defeated Sweden 8-6, reached the semi-finals in second place in round robin. Afterwards, he won the gold medal by catching Norway and England in a row. It was Canada's first gold medal in 12 years, and Kennedy's return to the top of the Olympic stage for the first time in 16 years since the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

However, fans around the world, except Canada, are not looking good. Tokyo Sports said, "On the official social media of the Canadian national team, ripples such as 'Congratulations on winning by fraud' and 'The whole world has watched your mean lies' are being plastered."

However, in the face of criticism, Canadian players responded much more strongly than expected. "My immense hatred poured out, but we decided to block them," Mark Kennedy said, according to Swedish media outlet Expressen. "Maybe there will be no return to social media again."

Brad Jacobs, the team's skip (captain), also made no secret of his displeasure. "I'll tell everyone who put the crazy word cheating or deception on our team and insulted our family," he said, adding, "I hope this image of us smiling with a gold medal around our neck on the podium will be embedded in your minds forever."

Controversy continues locally. There are even voices calling for a video reading system to be introduced. The controversial Canadian men's curling team remains a hot potato for sports fans around the world.
