Winter Olympics 2026 - Milano Cortina

Jen Dodds and Bruce Mouat clinching an important 8-6 win for GB against Norway in the opening round robin match.

A second straight win for the British pair this time 10-5 over Estonia.
They face the Czech Republic later today.

A stressful match against the Czechs right to the end. Both pairs making errors all over the show but Dodds and Mouat will be relieved to have scrambled an 8-7 victory and go 3&0 with tougher round robin tests to come tomorrow in the form of Sweden and South Korea.

An outstanding day for Mouat and Dodds with two more wins in the round robin stage. A superb 7-4 triumph over Sweden was followed by a dominant 8-2 victory over South Korea. Five from five.
But it gets really tough tomorrow.
Canada and USA. Yikes .

Team GB are sitting in a strong position right now though.

Would be a huge boost for Team GB's medal prospects if they can secure some kind of medal, but with Canada and USA still to beat it'll be a tough ask but with the current form they are in, they are probably worrying both Canada and US instead!! Let's keep fingers crossed for them, and it would be nice to see them not let the errors they did against Czechs worry them too much.

Which events do we have good medal prospects in in Milan?

Waiting to see how the Ukrainian and USA Teams are welcomed at the Opening Ceremony....

Ukraine with a lovely welcome .

Couch fucking Cunt in the crowd.

A good, stylish, well orchestrated yet simple Opening Ceremony and naturally Italian. I liked it. Well done all.

The lighting of the flames was just absolutely beautiful .

Che lo spirito del ghiaccio e della neve trovi vera armonia con la luce della fiamma olimpica.
Che i concorrenti possano brillare e prosperare nella più grande impresa sportiva di tutte.
I migliori auguri e amore all'Italia per le Olimpiadi invernali del 2026.

6 wins from 6 matches for Mouat and Dodds after a fine 7-5 win over Curling powerhouses Canada. GB in a good position to qualify for the semi finals now.
