Four Wins in Four Matches: Team GB Remain Unbeaten
Team GB continue to shine in the mixed doubles curling at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, with Jen Dodds and Bruce Mouat winning four straight matches. Their latest triumph came with a 7–4 victory over Sweden, a redemption win after narrowly losing to the same opponents in the bronze medal match in Beijing 2022. This victory keeps Great Britain top of the round-robin standings and firmly in contention for a medal.
Opening Match Victory Against Norway Sets the Tone
The British duo began their campaign with a tense 8–6 win over Norway at the Cortina Curling Olympic Stadium. Dodds and Mouat overcame early setbacks, with Dodds clearing two yellow stones to minimise damage and secure the lead. She reflected afterwards:
“The big thing for us is having our friends and family here… Just having them and hearing everyone else’s family and fans in the arena, that was a special moment for me tonight,” she said, highlighting the emotional boost from home support.
Tense Matches Against Czechia and Estonia Show Composure
Dodds and Mouat’s 8–7 victory over Czechia demonstrated their ability to remain calm under pressure. After a late surge from the Czech team, Dodds delivered a crucial stone to retain the lead.
Earlier, against Estonia, Team GB won 10–5, with the final end requiring measuring tools to confirm the last points. Reflecting on their style, Dodds said:
“Both games we’ve kind of built into the game… Overall, I think it was a step up, and hopefully we’ll step up again against Czechia tonight.”
Mouat added: “We love the power play scenarios, we play quite well in them. We know they normally come towards the end of the game, so that’s good for us.”
Next Match and Medal Hopes
Team GB now prepare for their fifth round-robin match against South Korea on Friday afternoon. With four wins from four, they remain unbeaten and well-positioned to qualify for the semi-finals, where the top four teams will compete for medals. The Team GB Milano Cortina 2026 performance so far reflects skill, composure, and a strong motivation to convert early success into Olympic glory.
