The 2022 Nornickel Curling Cup, the sixth edition of the traditional World Curling Tour event, was held from May 26 to 29 at the Taimyr Ice Arena in Dudinka, Russia.[1] For all the teams competing, it was their final event of the 2021–22 curling season.[2]
The WCT Arctic Cup is usually a tour event that attracts teams from all over the world. However, due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the 2022 edition of the event was contested between six Russian teams, including members from Belarus and Italy, three men's and three women's.[2] Leading the field were the two Russian Olympic teams that represented the ROC at the 2022 Winter Olympics, Sergey Glukhov and Alina Kovaleva.[3] The women's Olympic team from the 2014 Winter Olympics was also brought back together to play in this event, skipped by Anna Sidorova, as well as the men's team skip Alexey Stukalskiy. Four Russian players, Alexander Krushelnitskiy, Alexey Timofeev, Kristina Dudko and Anna Samoylik played with international teammates from Italy (men's) and Belarus (women's).[4]
