2022 World Qualification Event

The 2022 World Qualification Event for the World Curling Championships was held from January 18 to 22 at the Kisakallio Sports Institute in Lohja, Finland. The competition originally consisted of sixteen teams divided evenly into men's and women's divisions. The Brazilian Men's Team and the Kazakh Women's Team were removed from the competition schedule days before the tournament due to travel complications, leaving the competition with fourteen teams divided evenly into each division. The top two teams in the men's division qualified to compete at the 2022 World Men's Championship and similarly the top two teams in the women's division qualified to compete at the 2022 World Women's Championship.

On January 17, one day before the competition began, the Czech Republic women's team skipped by Alžběta Baudyšová had to withdraw from the competition due to two positive COVID-19 cases within the team. The Czech Curling Association had the option to send a replacement team to the event, but they declined.

In the men's division, Russia and the Netherlands both qualified for the 2022 World Men's Curling Championship. Russia defeated the Dutch team 6–3 in the first qualification final to earn their spot in the championship. The Netherlands then bounced back with a 9–4 victory over Finland to claim the final spot in the World Men's Championship.

On the women's side, Denmark and Norway both secured spots in the 2022 World Women's Curling Championship. Denmark won 7–6 over the Norwegian team in the first final and then Norway defeated Latvia 8–6 in the second final.
