Men's curling gold there for the taking, says Britain's Mouat

Britain’s men's curling team will bid to end a century-long wait for gold at the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics in 2026 and skip Bruce Mouat is confident the win is theirs for the taking, with his belief stemming from their form over the last year.

In Beijing in 2022, Mouat became the first curler to represent Britain in both the men’s and mixed doubles events, leading the men to silver and finishing fourth in the doubles alongside Jennifer Dodds.

“In terms of both men's and mixed doubles I have got two extremely good teams. The dynamics in both teams has been a good blessing for me. I've been to the Olympics once already with them both,” Mouat told Reuters by video call.

“Jen and I have put a lot of focus in over the last two years to get back to the Olympics. Now that we have that spot we definitely want to be standing on the podium...

“I want to win the gold medal in the mixed doubles, but the men’s is where I believe that it's ours for the taking. We've proved that we're the best team in the world, over the last 12 months.”
