Women Jeanne Ellegaard Mette de Neergaard Lene Nielsen (Skip) Maria Poulsen Helle Nordfred Simonsen 6th place (in the preliminary round)

Men Johnny Frederiksen Troels Harry Mikkel Poulsen Rasmus Stjerne (Skip) Lars Vilandt 6th place (in the preliminary round)

With a 6th place in both the men's and women's curling teams, the expectations for which the DIF and the elite sports organization Team Danmark had officially set themselves the goal of the Danish team in the curling competitions were partially fulfilled a place in the top five for men and a top 6 place for women will succeed. In a summarized reaction from the Director of Team Danmark , Michael Andersen, it was questioned how a cooperation between DIF, Team Danmark and the Danish Curling Association , Dansk Curling Forbund , could look to the chances for a medal at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea to increase.

“De danske curlingresultater til OL er en godkendt præstation. Men with curling should add their sports potentials and to the tops to foreign organizations, the ske should change in the forbundets elite culture, and the dialogue should take place with all curlingforbunds. Vi shall bl.a. se på, hvad det træningsmæssigt, competitive rate and økonomisk kræver, hvis dansk curling shall be able to clear signals in the course of international competition. "

“The Danish curling results at the Olympic Games are an approved achievement. But if curling wants to use its sporting potential and wants to reach the top of the future Olympic Games, changes in the elite culture of the association have to take place, and we are already conducting this dialogue with the curling association. Among other things, we have to pay attention to what it takes in terms of training, competition and economy if Danish curling wants to cope with intensified international competition. "
