Curling was thought to have been invented in medieval Scotland in the 16th century. It was a demonstration sport at the 1932, 1988, and 1992 Olympic Winter Games. In 1924, it also appeared on the Olympic Program, and recent evidence indicates that curling was a full medal sport that year. Previously it had been considered a demonstration sport in 1924. In addition, in 1936 and 1964, German curling (Eisstockschießen was contested as a demonstration sport.
Curling returned to the Olympic Winter Program as a full medal sport at the 1998 Olympic Winter Games in Nagano, and has been held at all Winter Olympics since. The sport is governed by the World Curling Federation (WCF), founded in 1966, and with 67 member federations as of 2020.
