Curling Scandal: Stolen Stones and Controversial Calls at Paralympic Games
The world of curling is under fire once again, this time at the Milan Cortina Paralympic Games. Two granite stones meant for the wheelchair curling event were stolen from the Olympic stadium in Cortina dAmpezzo, Italy. The competition began on Wednesday, ahead of the full opening ceremony on Friday.
This theft follows recent drama at the Olympics, where the Canadian mens team was accused of a double-touch violation. They were cleared, won gold, and the womens team faced similar claims. The usually calm world of curling has been thrust into the spotlight twice now.
Officials say spare stones have been brought up to spec and are in use, so the Paralympic event faces no delays or issues. Local authorities are investigating the theft. Wheelchair curling continues smoothly for now, as the Paralympics ramp up.
