The 2023 World Men's Curling Championship (branded as 2023 BKT Tires & OK Tire World Men's Curling Championship for sponsorship reasons) is currently being held from April 1 to 9 at TD Place in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.[1] Ottawa was selected as the host site in June 2022. It had originally been planned for the city to host the event in 2021, but the event was moved to the "Calgary bubble" due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This will be the first time Ottawa has hosted the men's Worlds.[2]

The format for the Championship featured a thirteen team round robin. The top six teams qualified for the playoff round where the top two teams received a bye while the remaining four played the first round.

The event is expected to attract approximately 70,000 fans. The Aberdeen Pavilion will act as the "patch" for the event, the site where fans can gather during the event.[3]

Summary

Team Turkey, who were making their debut at the event were no-shows at the opening ceremonies, making an "inauspicious" start to the event.[4] The team would later blame a miscommunication for their absence, believing that the ceremonies were to be held on April 2.[5]

The 1993 World Men's Curling Championship winning Canadian team (Russ Howard, Glenn Howard, Wayne Middaugh and Peter Corner) were honoured in the opening ceremonies.[5]

An ice storm hit the city on April 5, but crowds remained "decent". Rocks were re-textured prior to matches on the day, and Canada skip Brad Gushue indicated that the venue was cooler in the morning, but the ice held up.[6] The most notable event on the 5th was in the draw 12 game between Sweden and Norway, where Swedish skip Niklas Edin made what many were calling one of the greatest or "craziest" shots in curling history. Down by two in the tenth end, Edin had to throw a rock with an incredible amount of spin, making it curl enough to bump a guarded corner-frozen Norwegian stone at the perfect angle to avoid moving the Swedish rock it was frozen to, while also moving the Norwegian stone far enough to score two. A near-impossible shot, it could have only been made by throwing a "spinner," a rarely thrown shot in the sport. Usually a rock will rotate just a few times during its trajectory, but Edin's rock made over 53.5 rotations according to curling oddsmaker Matt Hall. Throwing a spinner is so rare, laughter could be heard at the arena when Edin released the rock. Edin was successful though, with his shooter rock being the second point, which was confirmed after a measurement. TSN commentator Russ Howard called the shot "the best ... I've ever seen in my life!" World Curling Federation commentator Tyler George said "There's these moments in sports where sometimes the moment is bigger than the result of the game. I will remember that shot for as long as I live." Despite the shot, Team Sweden ended up losing the game in the extra end.[7][8][9]

Draw 12

Niklas Edin was faced with an incredibly difficult shot in the 10th end to score two and force an extra end against Norway. To make the shot, Edin had to throw the stone with an excessive amount of rotation to bump a frozen Norwegian rock leftward without displacing his Swedish rock too far, and then holding the shooter to count as the second point. After making the shot, there was a measurement to confirm Sweden had scored two.
