PH curling team books slot in Olympic qualifiers
The Philippine men's curling team is nearing qualification for the 2026 Winter Olympics after an undefeated streak in a pre-Olympic qualification event in Scotland.
This success automatically advances the team to the Olympic Qualification 2025 event in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, from December 6 to 19.
The team, composed of heritage athletes Marc Pfister, Christian Haller, Enrico Pfister, Brayden Carpenter, and alternate Alan Frei, previously won the gold medal at the 2025 Asian Winter Games by defeating South Korea.
In the Scotland event, they secured victories against Denmark, Chinese Taipei, New Zealand, Australia, and Poland.
Only the top two teams from the Kelowna event will earn berths in the Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.
Philippine Olympic Committee president Abraham "Bambol" Tolentino expressed happiness about the team's progress and called for national support.
