Curling career
Hürlimann was a member of the Swiss team that won a gold medal at the 1992 Winter Olympics when curling was a demonstration sport.[1] Later that year, he won a bronze medal at his first appearance at the European Curling Championships.[2]
Hürlimann played in his first World Curling Championship in 1998, as the alternate for the Swiss team, but he didn't play any games. He wouldn't return to international competition until 2008, when he played second for Stefan Karnusian at the European Curling Championships. The team finished fourth, with a record of 6-4.[3]
In 2010, Hürlimann, still as second for skip Karusian, played at the World Championships in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.[4] Later that year, Hürlimann earned his second bronze medal at the European Curling Championships, this time playing second for skip Christof Schwaller.[5] A few months later, Hürlimann played for Team Schwaller at the 2011 World Championship, where they finished 7th with a record of 6-5.[6]
Hürlimann returned to the Olympics at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, as coach of the Swiss men's team.[7]
