The 2024 World Men's Curling Championship (65th) (branded as the 2024 LGT World Men's Curling Championship for sponsorship reasons) was held from March 30 to April 7 at the KSS Sports Complex in Schaffhausen, Switzerland.[1] This was the first time a world curling championship had been held in Schaffhausen, as the 2021 World Women's Curling Championship was originally awarded to Schaffhausen before being relocated to Calgary, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This was the tenth time Switzerland hosted a world men's or women's curling championship, with the last being the 2016 World Men's Curling Championship in Basel.[2]

The format for the Championship featured a thirteen team round robin. The top six teams qualify for the playoff round where the top two teams receive a bye while the remaining four play in the qualification round to qualify for the semifinals.[3]

Summary[edit]

Canada skip Brad Gushue won his 50th career game when Canada defeated New Zealand 7–4 in their game on 2 April.[4]

In Draw 15 action in the morning of 4 April, both Canada (8–1 record) and undefeated (9–0) Sweden (skipped by Niklas Edin) were the first teams to clinch berths into the playoffs, following victories over Norway (Magnus Ramsfjell) and the United States (John Shuster) respectively.[5] Later in the day, defending champions Scotland (Bruce Mouat) also clinched a berth after defeating hosts Switzerland (Yannick Schwaller) in an extra end.[6]

Sweden had secured the first direct bye to the semifinal going into the final day of round robin competition on 5 April, winning against South Korea before being handed their first loss by Scotland in their final game. Victories over New Zealand and Czechia allowed the United States (John Shuster) to qualify for the playoffs, with Germany (Marc Muskatewitz) also qualifying with wins over Italy and Switzerland, eliminating the latter from contention. Italy, despite losing to the Germans earlier, secured the final playoff spot with a win over Norway. Thanks to dominant six-end victories over Japan and Switzerland, Canada earned the second direct bye to the semifinals.[7]

In the playoffs, Italy defeated Germany 8–3 while Scotland defeated the United States 8–4 in the qualifying games. In the first semifinal, the game between Canada and Scotland remained close for the first 5 ends tied 3–3 going into the second half, however some mistakes from the Scots in the 6th end including a missed draw for a point by Mouat allowed Canada to steal 3 points and take control of the game. After forcing Scotland to 1 in the 7th, Gushue drew on his last shot in the 8th to score 3 more points and Scotland conceded, giving Canada a 9-4 victory. Meanwhile, Sweden defeated Italy in the other semifinal 5-3, setting up the 4th matchup in the final between Gushue and Edin dating back to 2017.[8]

In the final, Sweden defeated Canada 6–5, giving Edin a record seventh World Championship title.[9] Sweden got on the board first, scoring a deuce in the second end, which was set up by a long hit and roll behind cover by Sweden's third Oskar Eriksson. Eriksson made another great shot in the third, with a hit and roll. Gushue ticked on a guard in an attempt to blank the end on his last, giving up a steal to go down 3–0 after three. Canada rallied back to tie the game at 5 heading into the 10th and final end which would decide the game, with Sweden having the hammer. On his last rock, Gushue made a short runback to sit three, leaving Edin's only way to score being a tough wide draw to get a full piece of the four-foot. Edin made the draw, with his rock settling in the back-four, breaking the 5–5 tie. It was a fourth straight silver medal for Canada's Brad Gushue.[10]

Italy won the bronze medal in an extra end, defeating Scotland 7–6 after being down 6–3 after 9.[9]
