NU Curling Members Touch Olympic Gold - Literally!

Posted: February 2026

Northwestern Curling Club members got a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse of Olympic history! Before their practice on Saturday, they had a chance to see (and even hold) actual medals from two former Olympic curlers who were visiting the Chicago Curling Club! It was a brief but unforgettable moment that brought the thrill of the games a little closer to home.

Pictured below: USA's only Gold medal in curling won by Tyler George at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, Korea (left and middle) and Bronze medal won by Karri Willms at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France, when curling was only a demonstration sport (right).

Curling Watch Parties

Posted: February 2026

The Chicago Curling Club is hosting 2026 Olympic Watch Parties for select matches, and they're open to the public and completely free. It's a great chance to watch high-level curling, hang out with other curlers, and soak in some Olympic vibes without needing to be a club member.

If you're looking for something low-key to do with friends, or just want to watch some top-tier curling with other people who love the sport, this could be a really fun option.

You can find more details and match schedules on the Chicago Curling Club's website: https://chicagocurlingclub.org/eventPage.php/watch-party-26
