Dear Curlers
On behalf of the Curling Club Wetzikon and the local organizing committee may I welcome, once again, everyone who will join us for the 2026 International Wheelchair Curling Tournament at our curling rink. This is the 18th edition and we are pleased to see how successful this event has developed and has become a landmark in the planning of the national teams worldwide.
The local organising committee and the Curling Club Wetzikon will provide the high standard to make this event for all Curlers a memorable one. Due to our generous sponsors we will improve our own standards and looking forward to celebrate the 18th edition together with your team.
