Fans accused Canada’s Marc Kennedy of repeating a controversial release gesture during the Olympic curling final as debate erupted despite the gold medal win
The Olympic gold medal match in men’s curling was tense long before the final stones were delivered.
the middle ends, however, attention inside the arena and across social media had drifted away from strategy and toward one familiar
Olympic controversy involving Canada’s Marc Kennedy, who walked out of an interview after being shown evidence of cheating.
Viewers quickly began circulating clips online accusing the Canadian veteran of repeating the same “pointing finger” motion near the stone that previously sparked cheating allegations earlier in the tournament. Some posts demanded television producers switch camera angles to monitor his release more closely, while others openly questioned whether officials were ignoring potential violations.
The renewed scrutiny comes just days after Swedish curler Oskar Eriksson publicly accused Kennedy of “double-touching” the granite during a heated round-robin meeting.
In curling, players may adjust the handle but cannot touch the stone after it crosses the hog line; doing so typically results in the rock being removed from play. No penalty was issued at the time, and governing officials later clarified they do not use video replay to retroactively overturn decisions.
