Team GB's women's curling squad, defending Olympic champions but lacking most of their Beijing 2022 lineup, arrives in Cortina for the 2026 Winter Olympics with a medal as their primary goal. Jen Dodds, the sole survivor from the gold-winning team, leads a group where European silver in November signals they are closer to contention than pre-tournament expectations suggest. While acknowledging the challenge of replicating their 2022 success, the team emphasizes measuring success by performance rather than just hardware.

Their mindset reflects a realistic yet ambitious approach to the tournament. The squad's newcomers, including lead Rebecca Morrison, arrived on Sunday and gained insights from watching Dodds and Bruce Mouat lose in the mixed doubles semi-final, a setback they aim to learn from ahead of their opening match against China.
