Bruce Mouat and Team GB's curlers on the Olympic charge ahead of Beijing crunch clash with Sweden

Bruce Mouat led Great Britain to a third successive victory as they downed Denmark 8-2 to further impose themselves on the Olympic curling competition.

Team GB jumped into a 4-0 lead after three ends and the Danes, who sealed their Beijing spot at a last chance qualifying event, never really got a look in.

Mouat shot a 94% game in another superb personal performance to make it three British wins from three on the day at the Ice Cube.

“I’m very happy after that,” said the 26-year-old.

“We’ve played quite a few games together now and we are in a good spot and we are settled in and playing really well.”

Past the halfway point of the round-robin stage, Mouat, Grant Hardie, Bobby Lammie and Hammy McMillan Jr are sitting pretty in second place with four wins from five games.

Six is the magic number of wins that would seal a semi-final spot, guaranteeing a shot at Britain’s third curling medal and first since current coach David Murdoch skipped silver 2014.

“Out of ten for the round robin so far, I’d give us an eight,” said Mouat.

“We had a really good start against Italy, we dropped a few points in the first end and we had to fight back and it got us into a really good rhythm.

“We had to come back and shoot well against the USA, which unfortunately we didn’t really do and that gave them a win on their tally card.

“We have bounced back really well after that and that win against Norway really set us into our way. The last three games have been really solid.

“It’s the Olympic Games, so you’re not expected to go and win every game but you want to win the ones that are really important.

“And the ones that are coming up in the next three or four days are going to be very important. So we are really going to have to focus and play
