Best Answer

The first Olympic curling event was in 1924. It was absent from the games until 1998, when it was re-instated. Since 1998, it has been getting more and more TV coverage during each Olympics, and its popularity in the US has greatly increased.

Curling was a demonstration sport in the inaugural 1924 Winter Olympics (Chamonix), and then again in 1932 (Lake Placid), 1988 (Calgary) and 1992 (Albertville).

The sport didn't become an official medal sport until the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan. It's been an official sport ever since.
