Team GB's curling mixed doubles pair of Jen Dodds and Bruce Mouat faced a crushing defeat in their semi-final match against Sweden at the 2026 Winter Olympics. The British duo, who had high hopes of securing Team GB's first medal of the Games, struggled to find their rhythm in what they later described as their 'worst game of the week.'

Dodds and Mouat, reigning world champions and strong medal contenders, entered the semi-final with confidence after a solid performance in the round-robin stage. However, the Swedish team proved too formidable on the day, capitalizing on crucial mistakes and maintaining composure under pressure. The loss not only ended their gold medal aspirations but also cast doubt on their ability to secure bronze in the upcoming consolation match.

The defeat represents a significant setback for British curling, which had been targeting multiple medal opportunities in Beijing. With the mixed doubles event now out of reach, attention turns to the men's and women's team events where Britain still harbors medal hopes. For Dodds and Mouat, the immediate focus will be on regrouping quickly for their next opportunity to bring home an Olympic medal.
