The 2023 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship concluded today after eight days of competition in Gangneung, South Korea. The first mixed doubles championship - for teams of one man and one woman each - was held in 2008; this is the first time that an Asian country has hosted.

In addition to the host Team South Korea, the tournament featured 19 other national teams, from Australia, Austria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, Estonia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Scotland (defending champion from 2022), Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and United States. Team Switzerland entered this tournament as the most-titled champion, with seven of the previous 14 titles.

Teams played a round-robin format phase in two groups, before the elimination rounds began. In the end (pun intended!), Team USA's Korey Dropkin and Corey Thiesse won the gold medal with a 8-2 victory over Team Japan in the title match; this is the first title for Team USA in the event. The Norwegians defeated the Canadians 6-2 for third place.

Congratulations to the world champions! Complete results can be found online at worldcurling.org.
