• 7-5 defeat means British pair need at least two more wins
• GB snowboarder Katie Ormerod fails to reach slopestyle finals

Mouat decided to start wearing the cap in matches after mixed performances in the opening three games, and he believes his form is now coming to the boil as a result. “It’s a wee bit of a superstition,” he said. “I didn’t play very well in the first three games and I was quite disappointed, so I put the hat on and it has got super powers, apparently.
