Jason Gunnlaugson
Jason Gunnlaugson is a Canadian curler currently living in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Gunnlaugson is known for having been hired by the Russian Curling Federation (RCF) to represent the country at the 2014 Winter Olympics. The deal which was announced in April 2010 fell through in November that year, when the Gunnlaugson team was fired by the RCF.
Prior to his deal to play for Russia, Gunnlaugson had skipped his team out of Beausejour, Manitoba. In 2009, Gunnlaugson took over the reins of Daley Peters's team when Peters left the team to curl with his father Vic Peters. Gunnlaugson had been a member of the Peters team solely for the 2008-09 season, prior to that he had played third on the Reid Carruthers team.
Gunnlaugson acquired a berth at the 2009 Olympic Pre-Trials through his CTRS ranking from September 2007 to April 2009, highest of teams not already qualified. Most of those points were acquired earlier as part of the Reid Carruthers team, the Gunnlaugson team was the last team to qualify for the pre-trials. The four-some surprised many by being one of the four teams to qualify for the main Olympic trials, defeating Mike McEwen with the last rock in the extra end of the 'C' Final. However, at the trials, the team finished winless, with an 0-7 record.
Coming from curling strong Manitoba, Gunnlaugson won the Viterra Provincial Championships for the first time in 2020 to play in the Brier. He also played second for Manitoba (skipped by Carruthers) at the 2008 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship.
Gunnlaugson is well known in the curling community for his up-weight peel shots. He is able to throw a rock with a 4-second peel (time measured from hogline to hogline). Some of his shots at the 2008 Canadian Mixed Tournament were captured on YouTube. His teammates were unable to keep up with the speed of the rock.
On April 28, 2010 Jason Gunnlaugson announced his deal with the Russian Curling Federation. The negotiations were for Jason Gunnlaugson and teammates Tyler Forrest and Justin Richter to pair with two Russian curlers (Alexey Stukalskiy and Aleksandr Kozyrev) to create a Russian team to qualify for the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games. The deal involved each of the players earning $100,000 to train.
In November 2010, Gunnlaugson won the Russian Men's Curling Cup. His team defeated Artem Shmakov's Chelyabinsk rink in the final by a score of 7-1.
