Winter Olympics: Jen Dodds and Bruce Mouat miss out on gold-medal shot after semi-final defeat to Norway

Great Britain’s hopes of going for gold at Beijing 2022 were denied by Norway with the final stone of a tense semi-final in the curling mixed doubles.

In a repeat of the World Championship final, the British pairing of Jen Dodds and Bruce Mouat were unable to produce the same result as Krstin Skaslien’s final stone edged it 6-5.

The British duo had been in the ascendancy for much of the match but momentum swung in the two power plays as the Norwegians moved ahead for the first time at the sixth end.

Afterwards, Mouat blamed himself for the loss. He said: “I think we controlled that, which was the toughest part. I’m really disappointed in my last three ends. That’s going to be the toughest thing to get over. Jen’s played amazingly, I’m disappointed what I’ve done for the team.”
