Great Britain continue to battle it out in the curling round robin stage in the hunt for more medals at the Winter Olympics 2026.
Team GB have their work cut out at Milano-Cortina though, with both the men and women requiring results in the closing matches of the round robin to advance to the play-offs.
GB’s men slumped to a 9-5 defeat by Canada on Tuesday evening following the controversy that erupted over the weekend following cheating accusations made against the Canadian team. Canada’s men’s side was accused by Sweden of breaking the rules by repeatedly double-touching the curling stone after release, with swear words exchanged on the ice.
It led to a further mystery, with Sweden convinced that Canada were guilty of a “double touch,” and Oskar Eriksson even told his Canadian opponents that he would “show the video after.”
There were no such hijinks in Britain’s game against Canada but Bruce Mouat’s rink ended up on the losing side, and now must both beat the USA in their final round robin and hope other results go their way in order to scrape into the semi-finals and keep their medal hopes alive. Here’s the schedule, results and current standings:
