Wranå Siblings Make Historic Mixed Doubles Curling Debut for Sweden at 2026 Winter Olympics

The 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina have spotlighted Swedish curling history as siblings Isabella and Rasmus Wranå take to the ice together in mixed doubles curling. Their opening match against South Korea kicks off the mixed doubles tournament, which starts ahead of the official Olympic opening on February 6. This marks the first time a brother and sister compete on the same Swedish Olympic team.

The Wranå siblings come into the Games as 2024 world champions and strong favorites amid a competitive field that includes reigning Olympic champions Italy’s Stefania Constantini and Amos Mosander. Despite limited practice time on Tuesday, they express confidence and excitement about competing at this level. Rasmus noted the demanding schedule ahead as they also compete in men's curling.

Sweden aims to improve upon its bronze medal from the 2022 Beijing Olympics, and the pair believe that playing at their best gives them a solid shot at gold. The mixed doubles curling format differs from traditional curling in team composition and match structure, adding unique strategy to the competition.

Swedish viewers can watch the opening match live on SVT Play from 19:00, with comprehensive Olympic coverage also available on TV4 and streaming platforms such as HBO Max. This event not only highlights Sweden's curling talent but also the personal story of siblings competing side by side on the Olympic stage.
