Who Has Won the Most Olympic Medals in Curling?
The answer is not one athlete but three. Through the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, Anette Norberg of Sweden, Canada’s John Morris and Sweden’s Niklas Edin had each won three Olympic curling medals.
Their records look different. Norberg collected two women’s curling gold medals and a bronze, Morris won medals in both men’s curling and mixed doubles, while Edin earned one medal of every colour in the men’s event.
The Olympic curling medal record
| Curler | Country | Medals | Olympic results |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anette Norberg | Sweden | 3 | Bronze in 1998; gold in 2006 and 2010 |
| John Morris | Canada | 3 | Men’s gold in 2010; mixed doubles gold in 2018 and bronze in 2022 |
| Niklas Edin | Sweden | 3 | Bronze in 2014; silver in 2018; gold in 2022 |
Norberg was the first of the three to reach three Olympic medals. Her bronze came at Nagano 1998, followed by consecutive women’s curling titles at Turin 2006 and Vancouver 2010. Those victories made her one of the defining figures in the early modern Olympic era.
How John Morris reached three medals
John Morris’ Olympic record spans two curling disciplines. He was part of Kevin Martin’s Canadian men’s team that won gold at Vancouver 2010. Eight years later, Morris partnered Kaitlyn Lawes to win the first Olympic mixed doubles curling title at PyeongChang 2018.
He added a bronze medal in mixed doubles at Beijing 2022 with Rachel Homan. That result made Morris the first Canadian curler to reach three Olympic medals, and one of only three athletes at the top of the overall curling list.
Niklas Edin’s complete set of Olympic medals
Niklas Edin is the only member of the group to win gold, silver and bronze in the men’s Olympic curling event. His Swedish rink took bronze at Sochi 2014, silver at PyeongChang 2018 and gold at Beijing 2022.
Edin’s 2022 victory completed Sweden’s long wait for an Olympic men’s curling title. It also gave him three medals across three consecutive Games, a rare combination of consistency and improvement on the sport’s biggest stage.
Is Anette Norberg the sole record holder?
No. Norberg is often named in older lists because she reached three medals before Morris and Edin completed their own collections. The current record is shared when the count includes every Olympic medal won by an athlete as a member of a curling team.
Counting team medals is standard in Olympic curling. A skip, vice-skip, second and lead all receive the same medal, even though their tactical roles and public profiles may differ. Mixed doubles medals are included because mixed doubles has been an official Olympic curling event since 2018.
