There are 10 entries for each individual event. Among them, the host Chinese team automatically obtains the qualifications for men, women and mixed doubles.
Except for the Chinese team, the remaining places will be determined next year at the Curling World Championships and other Olympic qualifying events. According to the World Curling Federation, the top 6 men's and women's curling world championships in 2021 will directly qualify for the Beijing Winter Olympics. If the Chinese team is within the top 6, then only 5 teams can directly qualify for the Winter Olympics.
The rules for mixed doubles are slightly different. The top 7 mixed doubles in the 2021 World Championships will directly qualify for the Beijing Winter Olympics. If the Chinese team ranks in the top seven, then the eighth place will be qualified by supplement. (Finish)
