Mixed doubles
Norway has qualified a mixed doubles team by earning enough points in the last two World Mixed Doubles Curling Championships. Norway eventually finished in 4th place behind OAR, but on 22 February it was confirmed that the male OAR competitor had tested positive for meldonium, a banned substance. This meant that the OAR team would be stripped of their medal, and Norway would instead receive the bronze medal for mixed doubles curling.
