Curling became an official Olympic sport for the 1998 Nagano games. It had been included as a "demonstration" sport a couple of times before that, but it wasn't official until 1998. Both men's and women's curling were included, and the 2018 games will see the Mixed Doubles discipline added.
One of the world's oldest team sports, curling originated in the 16th century in Scotland, where games were played during winter on frozen ponds and lochs. The earliest-known curlingstones came from the Scottish regions of Stirling and Perth and date from 1511.
