The [[curling]] event at the [[1924 Winter Olympics]] was contested only by men. It was the first curling event in Olympic history.

In February 2006, a few days before the start of the [[2006 Winter Olympics]], the [[International Olympic Committee]] ruled that the curling medals were part of the official Olympic programme in 1924, and not a [[demonstration sport|demonstration event]] as many authoritative sources had previously claimed - the IOC itself had never done so.

This official confirmation was the culmination of an investigative campaign begun by the [[Glasgow]]-based newspaper ''[[The Herald (Glasgow)|The Herald]]'',<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070930222100/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/smgpubs/974258911.html?did=974258911&FMT=ABS&FMTS=FT&date=Jan+23%2C+2006&author=&pub=The+Herald&desc=SCOTLAND+WINS+AN+OLYMPIC+GOLD+.+.+.+82+YEARS+LATER SCOTLAND WINS AN OLYMPIC GOLD . . . 82 YEARS LATER<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> on behalf of the families of the eight [[Great Britain at the 1924 Winter Olympics|British contestants]] who won the first curling gold medals. The winning team had been selected by the [[Royal Caledonian Curling Club]], [[Perth, Scotland|Perth]].
