Great Britain's Team Mouat take on unbeaten Sweden in Beijing 2022 men's curling round robin

Team GB have hit their stride in the men's curling competition at Beijing 2022.

Bruce Mouat, Hammy McMillan Jr, Bobby Lammie, and Grant Hardie are currently in second place in the standings, with the top four progressing to the semi-finals.

Team Mouat are back in action on Tuesday 15 February at 20:05 local time in a top-of-the-table clash against Sweden where a win will all-but secure their place in the semi-finals.

Britain edged Switzerland 6-5 to record their fourth straight win in the round robin stage, and their fifth out of six games so far to set up the crunch encounter.

"We needed to come out and win that one to keep our hopes for the play-offs alive, so it was a big game," Mouat said on his team's performance against the Swiss. "They had their backs against the wall and were going to give us a good fight regardless of what was happening elsewhere. I'm very happy to get over the line with that one and to play well too."

Team GB won the match on the last stone.

"Obviously I had a bit of nerves. It was basically just trying to throw it as hard as I could and give it to the sweepers.

"I tried to throw it half-stone and let Bobby [Lammie] take it back a wee bit and that's exactly what he did. I always feel confident when Hammy and Bobby are standing by me on the hack."

Their next test will arguably be their greatest yet at Beijing 2022 against world champions Sweden, who have won all six of their games and top the round robin phase.

"I'm very excited to play Sweden," Mouat continued. "They've got a lot of Olympic experience and that's what we play for, the big games and they'll be one of the biggest."

Great Britain could have a psychological advantage going into the crucial test, having beaten Sweden in the final of
