This article highlights an incident involving Olympic curler Rachel Homan during the 2019 Ontario curling championship. Tension arose regarding residency and team eligibility rules, as Homan’s team included players living outside Ontario, leading to apparent mockery when she was voted to receive the sportsmanship award. Homan later sought an apology for what she described as bullying and disrespectful behavior, issuing a public anti-bullying statement.
Homan’s team was within the rules, using a student exemption, but frustration from other curlers about her residency situation remained. CurlON, Ontario’s curling association, confirmed a review into a harassment complaint unrelated to the players. Homan emphasized forgiveness and learning from mistakes, also committing to donate to an anti-bullying cause.
