“It’s incredibly tough to miss out by such a narrow margin, especially after fighting so hard”
Great Britain’s men’s curling team are through to the gold medal match at the 2026 Winter Olympics after a determined semi-final performance. Led by skip Bruce Mouat, the team defeated Switzerland 8–5 in a tense encounter that tested their composure and precision.
Britain fell behind during the middle ends but stayed patient and focused. Crucial shots late in the match shifted momentum in their favour, allowing them to close out the game strongly. The victory guarantees Team GB at least a silver medal, with Canada awaiting them in the final after their narrow win over Norway.
The achievement reflects the team’s consistency and mental strength on the Olympic stage. One more victory would secure the ultimate prize and cap off an impressive campaign.
Meanwhile, the women’s team ended their tournament with a 7–4 win over Italy. However, their progression depended on another result. The United States defeated Switzerland 7–6 in an extra end, taking the final semi-final place and ending Britain’s hopes in dramatic fashion.
Although disappointed, the women showed resilience throughout the competition. Now, the spotlight shifts fully to the men as they prepare for their biggest challenge yet.
