Curling is a team Olympic sport in which stones are slid across a sheet of ice towards a target area. It is related to bowls, boule, and shuffleboard. Two teams of four players take turns sliding heavy, polished blue hone granite stones across the ice towards the house (a circular target marked on the ice). The purpose is to complete each end with the team's stones closer to the centre of the house than the other team's stones. Two sweepers with brooms or brushes accompany each stone and use stopwatches and their best judgment, along with direction from their teammates, to help direct the stones to their resting place, but without touching the stones.

Team competitors are Mirjam Ott, Binia Beeli, Valeria Spalty, Michele Moser-Knobel, Manuela Kormann is an alternate.

Switzerland competed against Germany and beat them 4-2. Switzerland has a total of 5 wins and 3 losses in the woman's curling.
