The 2021 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship was held from May 17 to 23 in Aberdeen, Scotland.[1][2][3]
Because of cancellations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this was the first of two events for mixed doubles teams to qualify for the 2022 Olympics as part of the 2022 Winter Olympic Qualification process. The top seven National Olympic Committee teams from the championship qualified directly for the Olympics. China, as the host country for the Olympics, was already guaranteed an entry for a team selected by its national Olympic committee.[4] The remaining two qualifying teams were determined at the 2021 Olympic Qualification Event, which was open to any nation that qualified for the 2020 or 2021 world mixed doubles championships (not already qualified for the Olympics) as well as the top three nations from the 2021 Pre-Olympic Qualification Event.[4]
