Winter Olympics 2022 - Bruce Mouat's GB demolish Denmark to continue winning curling run in Beijing

Team GB's men's curling rink showed how beneficial a rest day at the Winter Olympics was after thumping Denmark 8-2 on the same day they edged past China 7-6. Bruce Mouat was in scintillating form to take the Danes apart, securing victory with two ends to spare, leaving them second in the standings with four wins from five. Ad/> GB made an impressive start as they made the most of having the hammer in the opening end, as Mouat held his nerve to produce two solid draws to secure a 2-0 lead in the early stages.

They got themselves into trouble in the third, though, and with one stone remaining, Mouat’s rink had manoeuvred themselves into a possible three-stone steal. Danish skip Mikkel Krause could only take out one British stone, meaning GB were suddenly 4-0 up after three ends.

Krause was struggling with his take outs but successfully achieved a double removal of British stones before Mouat cleared out the house with his final throw. Krause had a chance of scoring two if he could knock a guard into the house but he completely missed the target to draw another blank. Denmark were having a bit of a nightmare and Krause missed an easy open takeout and again approached their final stone not just looking to score, but to restrict GB.
