SHOCKING: Olympic Curling Erupts as Sweden Drops 22-Minute “Proof” Video

It’s only cheating if you get caught — and the Swedish aren’t letting Canada slide on this one.

Oskar Eriksson, a curler for Team Sweden, accused Canadian rival Marc Kennedy of cheating during the 2026 Olympic Games, sparking a global reaction that is still raging.

“You don’t react like that if you know you’re not guilty. I don’t think he slept as well that night as I did. If he now chooses to think he did the right thing, he will have to take responsibility for it,” Eriksson told Swedish outlet Värmlands Folkblad.

Eriksson, 34, called out Kennedy for “double-touching” — touching the stone a second time after it crosses the hog line, which appeared to be confirmed by video that made the rounds on social media.

“He hasn’t dared to look in my direction. He’s probably ashamed,” Eriksson added. “Mature for a 44-year-old father of two.”

Eriksson called Kennedy out on the ice in a scene that went viral.

“Apparently, it’s alright touching the rock after the hog line,” Eriksson said during their Feb. 14 round-robin match.

“You can f–k off,” Kennedy retorted.

The Canadian has continued to deny the accusations.

2026 WINTER OLYMPICS

The following day, the Swiss team also accused Team Canada of “double-touching.”

The World Curling Board released a statement on the allegations, saying they do not use video replay to overturn game decisions, while also clarifying that a second touch of the granite after release is now allowed.

If the granite is touched after it crosses the hog line, it results in that stone being removed from play.

Canada is set to face off against Great Britain in the gold medal match on Saturday afternoon, where certainly all eyes will be on them, and the thinnest of touches will be looked at by fans and referees alike.

When Gus Lamont vanished from his grandmother’s home, many couldn’t shake the sense of déjà vu.  The setting. The timeline. The early silence. Even the absence of immediate public images. For some observers, the similarities to the William Tyrrell case feel too close for comfort — like history echoing in ways no one wants to believe.  Investigators insist each case stands on its own. But online, questions are spreading fast.  Are the parallels just coincidence? Or do the similarities point to something deeper that hasn’t yet come to light?
Three-year-old Harlow, riding in her pink wagon, was struck and pronounced dead at the scene. Her parents were injured trying to protect her.  When chaos erupted, a 72-year-old woman ran toward the danger to help — and was critically injured in the attack. Loved ones say her bravery may have saved others.  Investigators believe the violence was random. Banks now faces charges including premeditated murder and multiple counts of assault, while his attorney has requested a competency evaluation.  One quiet neighborhood. Seconds of unimaginable violence. A child who should have had a lifetime ahead of her.  What really happened that night — and why?
She went to pick up her kids on a Monday morning — and walked into a silence that changed her life forever.  It was supposed to be routine. A mother arriving at her estranged husband’s home after the weekend.  But when Debbie Karels stepped inside, the house was too quiet.  On a bed were her three children — Bryant, 5. Cassidy, 3. Gideon, 2.  They never woke up again.  Investigators later said the children had been taken from the bathtub earlier that morning. Their father, Jason Karels, fled — leaving behind a handwritten note before he was later found, arrested, and charged.
