Following the medal games from the mixed curling competition, the mixed doubles teams for the second half of the Youth Olympic Games were announced.
A total of 48 teams were placed together, with one female and one male player from different National Olympic Committees. This gives the young athletes a unique chance to compete with curlers from different backgrounds and gain communication skills on and off the ice. Teams were announced by the Athlete Role Models, John Morris and Marlene Albrecht.
The mixed doubles competition will begin at 10:00 on Saturday (18 January). The event is a single knock-out, with the medal games being played on Wednesday (22 January) at 13:30. Times are Central European Time (CET) which is one hour ahead of Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).
