Owg
Olympic Qualification Event 2025
Kelowna, Canada
5-18 December
Overview
This Olympic Qualification Event will feature three competitions: Women’s, Men’s and Mixed Doubles.
The final two places in each event at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games will be decided at the Olympic Qualification Event 2025.
In the Women’s and Men’s competition, the National Olympic Committees which ranked 9–13 from the ranking list created from the results at the 2024 and 2025 world championships, along with the top three National Olympic Committees from the Pre-Qualification Event (which will be held in autumn 2025) will compete.
In the Mixed Doubles competition, any National Olympic Committee’s mixed doubles team that qualified for the 2024 or 2025 world championship, but did not yet qualify for the Olympic Winter Games through points earned at these championships or by hosting the Olympic Winter Games, can compete.
If this results in fewer than 16 teams, then the next highest ranked National Olympic Committee from the official Mixed Doubles World Ranking list (as of 1 May 2025) will be invited until all 16 places are filled at the OQE.
